So I've had this green candy cane for 6 months, it used to have some pretty extreme polyp extension and now it just stays receded and no longer exposes its sweeper tentacles at night. I have another frag of a different kind of candy cane and it is getting massive compared to when I got it 3 months ago. So I had algae growth on the stalk of the green one and that was the start of it receding into itself. I took it out and put peroxide on the algae with a brush to limit the exposure to the coral itself completely removing the algae. Now I notice what I think is exposed skeleton in the middle of the flesh and I dont know what to do to get it back to the way it was. It periodically puffs up but not for long, and I'm worried something may grow on the exposed skeleton which will irritate the coral further. What should I do to help get it back to the way it was?
