What is growing on my Candy Cane Coral?
Bought a new frag of Green Candy Cane coral with about 5 heads and what I thought was a baby on the side.
As you can see it has pinkish purple tentacles so I'm thinking probably not a baby candy cane... Any thoughts? |

 But if I was to hazard a guess I'd say you had some sort of sponge growing |

My guess is that it's just a smaller head of Calustrea (candy cane), thats how they proliferate, growing new heads, they all have tentacles when they open up, just my guess though.

That is real cool looking. hopefully it gets bigger! It does look like candy cane, just a coloration I've never seen before.
