Hi, there-
New to the world of Candy Canes. Brought one home from an aquarium shop we don't usually go to and noticed a growth of some sort on the side. They suggested that it the cane was growing, but (being a saltwater newbie and not having gained trust in the place yet) I'm not sure. To make matters worse, we went on vacation for a few days and when we returned home, we found the canes looked a bit worse for wear. (All parameters are good to go. Currently acclimating with light, but I turned the LEDs up a bit for the photo.)
The growth is soft, pink, and spongy and weaves between the stalks of the cane. It looks like it's hollow and filled with water. Additionally, at the bottom of the growth, there's some sort of star-like extension.
There's also a video of the star-like extension HERE.
Thank you for all your help!
