This is one of the 1st corals I got which makes it ~2 years old. As with most candycanes' it's very hardy, has survived a semi-tank crash (overheat) and has still done well. It grows at a slow to medium rate but I have 2 frags of it mounted onto disks. The color is a very bright green and is one of the strongest flourescent corals I've seen. It does fine with low/ medium light and low/ medium flow. I can bring to the Oct. meeeting and basic DBTC rules apply.
