I'm a new reefer, and just got my first set of coral, a couple of which are candy canes. Something looks off on this Candy Cane to me. Can someone help me understand if this is normal or not? Should I do something different with this coral?

Every coral needs time to adjust to new environment; that said, it looks okay to me. What makes you think something is wrong?
Good luck in the hobby.

@Mikedawg these 2 sppts look a bit pulled back, and it is not as fluffy as the other candy canes I got. They look like there is more flesh going down the skeleton maybe?

Hard for me to see. Assume you dipped and acclimated all of them and they are placed appropriately. I would just watch closely over next few days. Good luck and I didn't notice any cause for concern
