Candy apple red palys stop growing?

Man, it's been 4 more months and still no new polyps

Really happy about the color though, just unbelievable

As Daniella3d said I would also recommend target feeding them at least to see if you can jump start some growth.....or just sit back and enjoy them the way they are.

I have some Rastas that started as two polyps, shrunk down to one within a week. I just left them alone and within a week and a half I now have 5 heads. I've also had a colony of purple deaths shrink down to a single head and bounce right back to 20+... I've learned to just leave them be, don't move them and assuming your water parameters are within range don't adjust that too much either.

my candy apples did the same thing, from 2 to 7 in 2 weeks , once the new polyps grew to full size thats all i got . They seem to grow very fast when new so it could be a response to the fragging , a self presevation tactic .Im thinking of cutting 1 or 2 off the mother colony and seeing if it kick starts the growth again.

Ok went and cut one off the mother colony that had 8 heads , moved it over and inch and glued it down . Hope this works .
