📜 Backstory
The ORA / MIMF Candy Cane is the branded maricultured Caulastrea from Oceans, Reefs & Aquariums (ORA), grown at their Marshall Islands Mariculture Farm and distributed through retailers like AlgaeBarn, Bulk Reef Supply, and SaltwaterAquarium.com. It is a captive-propagated strain rather than a wild ultra, valued for hardiness and abundance rather than rarity.
