I’ve kept candy canes since my first reef years ago. I didn’t think they were hyper aggressive in anyway. I thought that they didn’t have sweepers, more like just elongated regular tentacles. Was I wrong. I had a favia growing about three inches away from my colony when I noticed that it was dying. The candy cane tentacles are usually 1-1 1/2 inches at most so I didn’t bat an eye at it. But then I caught this.
It doesn’t even look remotely like a candy cane tentacles yet there it is. About six inches long. Such is life. So yes, candy canes have serious sweepers so keep that in consideration when you place it.
