My tank crashed twice from neglect and mine kept growing. Its very hard to kill a mushroom....even these jawbreakers. I think the reasons why they are so expensive is because indeed as they age, they get more intense patterns. I finally had two babies grow with vibrant red streaks almost immediately after appearing which was odd and still dont have an answer as to what causes this. My first jawbreaker took nearly a year before i saw any red and 2 more years to see any green! Now 6+ years later its got purple.......Amazing.

I have posted before, but my Jawbreaker changed a lot since the last post. I thought I would put all the photos in this one post.
Sold this one back in April. I still have 2 babies from it.

I put mine in a basket of rubble rock and frag plugs. They climb around on whatever. Its fine in the sand too. It may detach and float around until its happy if its not.
