It could be the aiptasia stinging the candy cane? Anemones do the same to corals.

Let's get some input from #reefsquad

I got ahold on some f aiptasia but the candy cane looks in a very bad shape, receding from all angles, and its like bailing out. I still killed the aiptasia on it (hopefully). And i moved it to a lower flow area it doesnt look savable though.
