Need help! Ripped Bubble coral!

[littleprince]

So I've been waiting for a week to hook up my refugium. It was all leak tested and 5" sand, some lr, and lr rubble. Was just making sure it didnt do a mini cycle. I hooked it up to the main tank today, and stupid me, the way the drain from the refugium was facing was directly toward the bubble coral in my tank.

At first the flow was higher than I wanted, but I turned it down. But this was much after I noticed it was towards the bubble.

Anyways, theirs a couple of small rips on the bubble coral now. The flow is not pointed at it anymore. I hooked up a small container to temperorarly redirect the flow. (stupid me didnt make the drain direction changeable, I sealed it with that plumbers stuff).

Is there anything I can do to help this coral along? Its my favorite, and I'd be really pissed if anything happened to it.

No, nothing you should do at this point for the bubble coral.

Keep a moderate amount of flow around it to keep fresh water flowing around the tears. Also, feed it a couple good chunks of shrimp or silversides or target some mysis or brine a couple of times a week.

Borneman's book states that they are susceptible to "brown jelly" infection when damaged. I tore mine when a piece of LR fell on it. It healed up just fine.
