So I have a candy cane(toxic color i believe or neon green....will add the best pic i can) its been doing well. When feeding and at night I see the tinticals come out but today I was just checking on each coral as I do every morning and I noticed on the "trunk" of it(has 3 heads) it looked like there was movement....as I looked closed it looks like the trunk has tinticals as well, or it looks "hairy" but its not algea.......anyone have any clue what this is or is this normal......ive never seen another candy cane coral ever have this....or maybe I just never saw it....

probably a tiny barnacle it looks good
 
I see the dots, but can't really tell what I'm looking at. Whatever it is, 99% chance it's harmless IMO. The left polyp doesn't look to me like it's splitting--you should see a second mouth.
 
Well like 2 weeks ago there was a second dot that I thought could be a second mouth but in the last 4 or 5 days I haven't seen it......and I'm new to this so I'm still trying to learn as much as possible. Thanks for the replys and opinions.
