i have this coral frag and it was sold to me as a trumpet coral but when i search the web the trumpet corals always look a little different so i was wondering if it was something different so here is a pic of it with its tentacles out. (best pic i could get of it)

thanks (im so gald i found this forum)

Yeah it is a candy cane, good luck with it, the skeleton looks to be receeding a bit from the pic, id watch out for it.
