is this worth saving?

[nitefall101]

at the start of me adding corals ( around a month ago) i got given a bubble tipped anemone and it was stuck to this piece of dead coral when the anemone moved we noticed that the “dead coral” wasn’t actually dead and has a little spot of green and i’ve talked to the owner and he said it was a branching candy cane, my question is will that super small speck of green going to grown and eventually be a colony of candy cane or is it not worth the trouble and likely die? i’m a beginner still trying to learn

It's tough to tell from the photo, but if it's a candy cane then they're pretty darn hardy. I've had hundreds of polyps grow from just one starter polyp, and it was smaller than a pea.

I'd keep it and let it contribute to your knowledge/experience either way.

If there’s tissue there’s hope.

If there’s tissue there’s hope.

What the OP needs to watch for is what this tissue grows into?
It might be something besides a candy cane, and so let it grow and repost for an id once it's large enough to see what's growing.

I have seen dot's like this turn out to be plate corals, and various paly's, torch corals, etc. Keep a close watch!
