I have noticed a small tube growing on my candy cane, since I've noticed it I can also see that the candy cane isn't quite as "happy" as it was before. Any ideas on what it could be? Pics below: I did recently spot feed some reef roids which is what is being dragged towards the tube.

Hey guys so I’ve had this CC for about a month now and I realized that the mouth part looks like it’s sinking a lot. Is this a problem? If so how do I deal with it? I think there’s some skeleton starting to show as well

So I have this monster candy cane colony. They started as 2 heads 2 ish years ago. I’ve found that the smaller heads beneath the large mass of the colony are losing tissue and receding. It’s really only like 2-3 heads. And they don’t get any light because of the sheer mass of the colony. Is this...

Hello everyone, recently I got a candy cane coral, I haven't noticed anything unusual until today I noticed what looks like a small tentacle extending out of one of the mouths I haven’t seen never seen this before. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this… below is a link to a short YouTube...

Should I move this guy to better light? Does he look ok?

This is going to be a really stupid question but as my candy canes split should they tissue cover the entire skeleton or just about an inch below each head? They’re around 50 heads now and the tissue doesn’t cover anything but between heads that are close together and about an inch below each...

I just bought this green gonipora today. It has been dipped and put in the tank for a couple hours now but it won’t seem to open up and I’m not sure. It had opened up just about a quarter inch before and then I moved it and moved it back to the original spot and it still hasn’t opened. All the...

Any idea what these stringy things are growing on my candy cane coral? Should I be concerned, and if so, would a dip in Coral rx solve the issue?

Hello, I have 3 candy cane corals in my tank. The flesh on one of them has steadily been receding over the past few weeks. Now most of the skeleton is exposed with very little flesh left, I realize that this one might be beyond saving. The other 2 candy cane corals have been doing fine until...

Just started on the top one about two days ago. Did a water change last Sunday using a different salt, but didn’t affect my overall parameters too much. Previously both were doing perfectly fine, and have been for months on end. Top one had always had a massive “bubble” where multiple polyps...

My name says zoa fanatic but candy canes are my passion. Anyone else love this coral? How big is your colony?

Hey everyone, Long story short I was cleaning my tank and accidentally brushed up against my Candy Cane coral. Instantly the green color came off, Is this natural or is this the beginning of the end for it? Parameters look pretty normal salinity is a little high at 1.030 but that's why im doing...

I noticed two heads right next to each other starting to recede. I cut one off the other day and it exposed this red stuff I can't identify. It looks kind of like the color of coralline algae, but is semi-transparent. The head that it is on is receding near the substance in question, and...

Please help me who knows what might be going on. So I had this candy cane next to my hammer for several months. No problems. Hammer didn't grow as much as the candy grew almost triple since I first bought it. The skin of the candy is like dissolving. At first I thought it was splitting. But it...

Does anyone know what’s on my candy cane ! ? Can anyone help in identifying any pest or worms that like candy canes. Is it to far gone ? Or can I dip it ?

I have some candy canes that have recently become super super mad for some reason. They deflated one day when I raised the pH of the water by 0.2 over about three days and now have slowly been reinflating during the day but looking like crap at night. Before and after pics attached. Any idea...

I've had these guys 8 months. They've gone from 2 heads to 20ish. The last 2 or 3 days they haven't wanted to inflate at all with the tissue held close to the skeleton. Tank is nearly 7 years old. Parameters are: Nitrate - 5ppm Nitrite - 0ppm Ammonia- 0 ppm Calcium - 520 ppm pH - 8.2...

Hey Everyone, As my tank and collection has gotten larger and the pandemic has still left me unemployed, I'm happy to present some of my little slice of the ocean for sale. These coral have brought me a great deal of enjoyment while in my care and I hope they are able to do the same for whoever...

So i was doing my normal routine then i noticed its sections were getting very swollen to the point were it started popping and pieces of flesh were going everywhere, around 2 weeks ago i went on vacation and left my tank to my cousin who was feeding at night when none of my fish ate and had 2...

My candy canes are splitting like crazy. They’ve gone from nearly dead to two heads to like 10 heads now. But they just keep splitting. At what point do they start growing new stony skeleton and branching out? My hammer coral recently split and immediately it grew a new skeleton for the new...
