I have noticed that splitting occures much faster under less intense light levels, PC vs MH (not shadowed lighting or low light levels).
Lately I have played around with T5 HO actinics and have noticed the colors of all my corallimorpharians intensify, not just ricordia, along with zoanthids (also an increase in growth, especially in the zoanthids and new polyps appearing) which seems to me to almost contradict what I just said before.
:smck: | Very interesting. Have you done any splitting of your yumas? Also, besides low lighting, what do you do for your green yumas? I have trouble them.
