Candycane Coral
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Candycane is a colorful coral usually with brown polyps and neon green centers. The outside brown part can also have lighter stripes radiating out from the center.
Lighting - Water flow:
It likes low water movement. It requires medium to strong
light. These corals will expand in the morning before the lights are turned
on and put out a circle of long tenacles similar to the pistols in a flower.
Very interesting to watch!
Difficulty of Care:
This coral is easy to care for, it can be recommended to
beginners. They can be fed when the tentacles extend but it is not necessary
to do so.
Aggressiveness:
This sweeper tenacles are short and seldom bother anything
around them. This is not a very aggressive species.
