Star Mint Candy Cane

[Razorbacks]

I'm looking for a specific strain of candy cane called "Star Mint". This was described by Jake Adams on the reef builders podcast and shown on the website. Both he and Mark van der Wal had it in their tanks for a long time. Jake said he'd seen many strains over 20 years that people claimed were the same but that this one was clearly distinct and superior to similar looking variants.

He also mentioned he gave some to one of his local fish stores and they were selling them very quickly. It looks like Tidal Gardens sold it at one point but confirmed to me today that they no longer do. Can anyone help me track this down? Given the popularity and fast growing nature of candy canes I know this has to be out there.

Similar but different candy cane on live aquaria

I've seen plenty of strains around that do have the white striping. I think the main differences with Jake's strain where the count and consistency of the striping (10+ per head vs as little as 3 or 4 on some others) and the colors of the coral seem more vibrant compared to the others.
