Coral ID

[Tofik]

Hello everyone,
Can you help me ID this coral? I had it for few weeks now, but today I noticed white sringy-like specks on it that don't seem to be moving. Should I be worried?

Micromussa lordhowensis. Those white spots look like mesenterial filaments. Could be a feeding or stress response.

It’s an acan coral, the white specs are it’s feeding tentacles. It looks healthy to me!

That’s a acan but don’t know about the white spots

Thanks for help, everyone. I also have a question about my candy cane. I bumped into it with a fish net scraping some of the green color on some two heads. It looks not happy now and the irritated spots look dull brown, looks almost like the glow wiped off. Will the color come back?

It should recover fine.
