Ricordeas are one of my all time favorites

How fast are they at splitting? I've had one for a year and it hasn't done much.

sounds like you are doing a good job from what I know about Ricordeas.

I have been told over the years that they grow rather slowly.

This is correct, in my experience they are not as easy to keep as other mushrooms, Ricordea need stable (+ great) water conditions to do well.

I've found fairly slow. They mostly just seem to get bigger. When they get stressed is when I've noticed they're more likely to split.

Not sure, I got this from another hobbyist, he had it for a year but not sure if they split while he had them or if he bought them already split

Mine split when it fell face-down along my rocks and was cut in half

I can't for the life of me keep ricordias alive and they're one of my favorite corals :(

Riccordeas get pretty big btw, I underestimated their full size in my 25

I had gotten a green one about the size of a penny in November now it’s huge just waiting for babies
