Mystery bumps on candy cane

[karlandtanya]

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

Title pretty much says it.
I've had this candy cane for a couple years & it seems happy as far as I can tell, but I've noticed new bumps in the flesh of some polyps recently.
Anyone have an idea what these might be?

Tentacles come out at night, polyps get fat when I feed & it seems to be growing, but slowly.
Other corals are growing (fungia, monti, duncan) or same size & healthy (brains, etc.)
Nitrates 2.5 ppm; Phosphorus 39ppb; 11DKH; Ca 360 ppm, & Mg around 1450.
I did recently have a Ca spike (500) & DKH drop (10 DKH) a couple weeks ago.

Just dub it a 'Bounce Candy Cane' - someone will buy it for lots of money. ;)

Its not abnormal especially in the evening when they are seeking food and I see their mouths are ready to eat. This also happens when the tissue gets bumped and it will recede to normal in a couple of days.

maybe a coral stung it

You’ll know a sting when you see ont. tissue shredded, skeleton showing, etc
