Red and Green Candy Cane Coral

About Red and Green Candy Cane Coral

Candy cane coral (Caulastrea furcata) forms clusters of round, puffy heads on short branches, here with red-brown stripes around a bright green centre. It is peaceful, with only short sweepers, and is one of the easiest stony corals to feed and grow. Heads divide regularly once it is established.
