Can anyone ID this coral for me? I was told it was a candy cane, but I'm not quite sure.

Thanks for the quick reply. The polyps expanding like they do caught me by surprise one evening. Wasn't sure what to think, but definitely didn't think candy canes expended like that.

My candy cane does put out feelers but yours is an Acan Lord Howensis. Nice score.
