Candy cane not looking so hot, help

Steelerfan101 · 11/27/2013, 06:14 PM

So I picked up a candy cane with 2 heads, one splitting, and it looked good the first two days then today I noticed the head (not splitting) didn't look as "inflated" as before. It looks dull and saggy. Alk and ca is good and all my other coral including my trumpet coral looks good. What could be causing this?

If you think it isn't doing well, feed it! Candy canes are really fast growers IME if params are good, but mine are little fatties and love to eat at night when they fully open.

My candy canes prefer indirect light. I keep mine between rocks where they get reflected light, not direct and they do great.

Looks like any candy cane I've seen. Don't think you should worry. Mine goes back and forth also.
