Does any one have a pic of a big candy cane colony? Trying to imagine what kind of growth pattern it has.

Thanks

I have one of simulair size and shape, only its the neon green color. it started from four very small heads. It has been fragged many times and keeps on coming back. I have mine up close to the top under two 250w MH and two 110 VHO's. I have been told that they like lower light. Guess no one told my candy cane that.

Here is my Neon green candy cane. I just fragged half of it so it was a lot bigger.http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv78/jabsudhoff/011.jpg

Here's mine, its pretty cool how the figure 8 and "shamrock" growth pattern occurs. Not as big as the previous poster's but its also under 250 w MH lights, about mid tank in a 120 gallon. The actinic shot don't do much for it but you can see what it looks like.<center><p>
