I made a thread the other day my goby kept laying in the mouth of my candy cane and made it pretty upset showed a lot of skeleton now and I’m not sure if it’s cause of the goby or if it’s a new head that’s growing

Likely from goby causing stress.
goid water quality, feeding and moderate light should nurse it back

I thought so. Can you tell if there’s another head growing in one of the pictures ? I know it’s hard to tell with the pictures I got a low setting of blue with the prime 16HD or the pirates schedule is what I use so lighting should be okay. Alk ca is in good condition The goby definitely messed him up cause they where looking really nice before he laid in them

I have a goby that lays on my candy cane all the time. As far as I can tell it has not harmed the coral. The bottom photo is the same candy cane a couple of years later. The fish still hangs out with that coral even thouh it has been moved since the first photo.
