The canycane coral in this link is similar to the one I have in my tank.

Also, would this color of candycane be considered rare?
Who else has this kind of coral? Let's see some pics!

I've seen a couple of these, I don't think they're *that* rare.

great looking though =)

It's $60 for 2 heads.

You should pick it up when you see it ... Took me 5 months to find it.

really? wow ok I guess I was just lucky.

New Alameda has one right now, though I think it was sold. I saw some at All About Fish in Pleasant Hill as well. Some online places sold them too.

I didn't really like the color too much, made me think "nuclear waste" when I saw it =/

i got one with 6 heads for $40 that elec. green(not rare).....$60 for two heads is STEEP!

It's very pretty.. Not all are the same as the Alantis one. I saw it in person and that thing is "very" neon green.. The best looking candy cane if you ask me ..

:eek1: Very nice colony .. :bum:

How long did you have it?

 

[dkle]

I've had them for 4 months with very good growth. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but the top one is purely green and the bottom one has a yellow tint to it; each is very unique and beautiful in its own way.

That's a great looking colony. That colony looks very similar to my colony. I'll post it up soon.

3 years ago this particular morph was incredibly hard to find in the hobby. Now, it's usually available, at about 10 or 15 dollars more than 'regular' candycanes.

Here's my colony:

Nice candy canes!

Several years ago, I received a fedex box overnight from one of the major online livestock dealers. I had not ordered anything from them in months. To my suprise, it is a small colony of these very same candy canes! only 4 or 5 small heads. I immediately called them, as i knew it was a mistake. They confirmed it was, but said i could keep the coral instead of returning it, at no charge! I don't know why it was sent to me in the first place!

It has become one of my favorites. At least 15 heads now, and big beautiful ployps. I love these corals!

Here they go for $4.00 a polyp.
