Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I would expect the Candy Cane to win that war, but I'm frequently surprised at the heirarchy. Have you changed anything in your normal routine (feeding, water change, ?) You could always trie moving the Ric and see what the effect is.
I know my candy canes would occasionally go through a cycle of shrinking to almost no exposed tissue for a few days before an extended period of growth and splitting.
