sounds like feeder tentacles, it is very common for Candy cane corals to feed after the lights in the main tank are off. Try feeding it some Brine shrimp or mysis. I feed mine brine and cyclopeeze (zooplankton). HTH |

If its hard it might be the skeleton...Just ticked off. It should bounce back.

It's pretty amazing how deflated those things can get once the lights go out.

Yup...that looks like a po'd candy cane...the "white" is the skeleton showing through because the "flesh" is completely retracted. Give it a day or two and see if it "pumps" up.

It's almost impossible to kill them, be patient it will get happy and puffy. Ours have always a few weeks to really get happy and healthy looking.

No worries, mine usually do that when I move them (which I try not to do too often). After a day or so they go back to normal.

give it a day or two it will be ok, i did the same thing the other day and now mine is just fine. You can super gule it in if you want to, so it dosen't keep falling.
