It should recover. I had a candy cane get whacked by an RBTA and it pulled through. Worst case you lose that individual head and the rest continues to grow.

thank you!
Where did you located your candy cane? high flow and strong light on the sand?
I'm not sure what is best for him.

Candy cane does well in a variety of conditions. Usually I position mine in low-medium flow and low-medium light.

Position 6 inches or more away from torch to avoid future chemical warfare.
