    I just picked up this candy cane frag for $10 at the LFS, I am wondering if it looks ok?

    I just put it in the tank a couple hours ago so it is still getting used to its new digs but I was wondering more about the stalks. Is there supposed to be flesh on the stalks like duncans because these guys don't seem to have that.

    I just want to know if it needs some TLC. Thanks!

    They look great to me,they'll inflate more after they have acclimated to your tank and flow.Speaking of flow,in general,most lps like mild to medium flow.

    Also, no they do not grow flesh on the outside of the skeleton. :)
