    is my candycane coral ok?

    I got one that the tissue had receeded down all the heads so you could just see a little bit and it is coming back great, even two heads that you couldn't see any tissue. The one I had was light deprived for awhile. It's doing great under halides. I also basted it with brine shrimp for a while.
