    Hi there, one quick question - I recently bought a Candy Cane Coral (metallic green) from the local shop and would like to know if anybody can give advice on it's care. Are they photosynthetic or do you also have to feed it?

    I have kept candy canes with great success. They're pretty easy if you keep you calcium up so they can grow their skeleton. They do not require feeding and are photosynthetic. They also don't require intense lighting. However, if you want to feed them, just drift some brine shrimp by them when their feeder tentacles are out.
