Description
Description – Candy Canes are an LPS coral that require moderate care and are great even for beginners as they do not exhibit much aggression with their shorter sweeper tentacles. One of their best characteristics are the striped colouring patterns around the polyps, not to mention the varying colours that exist around the world. This one is neon green and glows magnificently.

Purchased these a couple of weeks ago, doing very well, just waiting for new stronger LEDs, to make them pop even more than they do now. Really pleased with my purchase, and local to me, so no delay in postage because of the strikes.
