Looks so nice! I'm a coral newbie - is your 2nd pic the candy cane? What is that color variation called? (Really like it).

2nd pic is a lobophyllia about 5cm long and 3 cm across, found it to be very easy care, moderate light and flow. is fun to feed being so big it will happily accept some pellets at lights out. Seems to do really well with weekly feeding. Not sure on what the color variation is.

However I do happen to have a candy cane green and purple candy cane frag that is one head with two mouths its in the process of splitting into two heads

This is a slightly older pic from a few months ao its a lot closer to being two heads now.
