I found that mine grew the fastest when I stopped looking at it lol I would take a picture at the beginning of the month and then every other months and then compared the images sometimes growth is subtle and it feels like its not growing but when u look back at what it started u realize it did. Let do its thing it will get there before you know it. You know the old saying a watched pot never boils lol good luck and keep your parameters steady it'll grow

Lol. Well mine won't grow either. So I moved it off the sand bed about a third of the way up and it looks better.

I use reef chilli as well, and my candy canes take in mysis, brine, rotifer and even bloodworms and krill sometimes(krill can be too big)
My kryptonite has only split from 2 to 3 but one of the 3 just formed a second mouth. My regular greens have split maybe 6 times over the last 4-5 months, cpl heads have 2 mouths again which means they will start splitting again soon.
The 2 head cane I rescued from Petco is still 2 heads after a cpl months, but it had a lot of recuperating to do before it starts to split.

I mix up reef chili when all the powerheads are in feeding mode and my lights are only blues. I'll take a turkey baster and coat the candy canes and watch them slowly eat it down. Once I transplanted mine into my new tank they have shrunk tremendously but are slowly making a recovery. But that's what I do, and then once the feeding jets turn back on it blows the left overs to all the other corals/SPS and they eat it too.
