Hey all, my long polyp toadstool I've noticed has started to takeoff. It's about doubled in diameter in the past month or so. I'm curious if these will grow as large as normal toadstools, just curious because I've never seen them get very large.

Most of them do get pretty large......pretty cool when you see them kick it into gear and really grow in spurts. Pretty cool and the long tentacle is a bonus!

They will grow as large as ‘normal toadstools’ since they’re still from the same genus (Sarcophyton) and some may be variants of the small polyped species.

You don’t see them get very large as they can have slowed growth once they get to a certain point but they can certainly grow big.
