Can you post a photo or two? I have a candy cane that is doing so-so and maybe we can learn together.

I would make sure you havent had any swings in water params and that nothing has bothered it.

Parameters are the same from when it was flated around 2 am and when i got up at 11am...when i went to bed its tentacles were fully extended...my nitrates and phospates are ultra low im trying to raise them but havent been to so far even with extra feeding...the other candy cane is 4-5 inches below it and its fine

As long as its not getting too much flow or light could just be annoyed temporarily.

If theres another candy cane doing fine then its not water params. I think that something could have annoyed it or its getting too much light.
