It looks like it has receded into the skeleton a little bit.
They are easy to keep corals.

 

[Babygecko1233]

So maybe its just a baby?

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Sickly. A healthy tank will make that a healthy coral. Cool find.

 

[Babygecko1233]

I think he's all upset from having no light and no flow until this morning.

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Yup. I agree.

 

[Babygecko1233]

UPDATE.*****

Fragged the candy cane coral piece...hoping to save it...gave it higher light.. And medium flow...any suggestions? Like supplement that won't change my tank perimeters.

Sorry bout the clown...once again wanted to take selfies

I know mine do best down on the sandbed, tried higher position, but the didn't do well when moved up.

 

[Babygecko1233]

Okay trying your idea!! :)

 

[Michael Cronmiller]

I'm no expert but that is how mine are thriving...sometime ya gotta just play around and see what works best in your tank..hope it bounces back [emoji106][emoji106]

I have a kryptonite candy cane that I purchased pretty early on in my display tank before I really had a plan. It wound up behind a rock in the sand (although it still gets light, maybe 100 PAR). I don't look at it often. I never touch it. I never intentionally spot feed it. And yet despite various misadventures I've had that come with a young tank, claiming the lives of some other more delicate specimens, this thing has thrived and multiplied. Good luck saving yours!
