Candycane Coral

[SGTDirk]

I have a quick question about my wifes candycane coral. How many polyps make up a decent size coral? All the ones I've seen people have are around 10 or so. What is the norm.?

Until it doesn't fit in your tank.

i had a "nuclear" green(that's nucular for you bu****es)candycane that grew to 10 polyps from 2 in about 2 years. then it fell into a brain coral, only one polyp survived. now i'm back up to 4 polyps. i would call anything over 8 heads or so a decent colony, but i've seen some MUCH larger than that, although they weren't the super bright green, they were the more common whitish blueish kind of color.

Well, we are up to around 30 heads. I was just wondering if that was good.

30, awe that is so sad only 30.
