Here is a pic of my rainbow Ricordia. It has grown to what I can tell to be 3 heads (I can see 3 mouths when it's spread out. It looks to me like it's splitting off a head, but I'm fairly new to reefing and I'm not sure. Can anyone offer an opinion? Thanks

The riccordia don't generally split...they usually drop off babies....however, I have heard they can, you can also frag them so I know you can split them easily enough....it is not unusual to have a riccordia with multiple mouths either. I cannot really see from the photo what the tissues looks like. Can you get a photo with white light?

Lights just went out for the night. I will snap a shot under whites when I get home from work tomorrow. Thanks for the reply to my question
