What is this coral?

I got this frag from the local pet shop.
Don't know what it is.
It is a piece that broke off a much larger bush.
I think it would be LPS coral.
What is it scientific & nickname(s)???

Isn't the blastomussa skeleton usually connected?

Could it be a candy cane coral?

Blastomussa merleti for sure, I purchased one today at the LFS for $4.99 it looked just like that although it was bigger with 8 heads. "Blasto m. grows in a branching fashion were blasto w. grow flat and side by side like an acan would."
