Injured War Coral

[lnevo]

So in a battle between my war coral and a neon red mushroom...the war coral lost. One side that I couldn't see got stung pretty good and looks like some recession as well. Now that I've moved the war coral what's the best approach? Let it heal on it's own? Amputate the injured flesh? Frag it up and sell it off?

I'll post some pics of the damage later, here's how i got it and here's what it looks like recently..

The last shot was a few months ago. It's expanded past the plug all around now. Some small bits got left behind on the rock it was on when i moved it too... Maybe they'll survive to be frags one day

I would isolate your war coral, don't frag it. Direct feed it at nite eventually will heal.

if you leave it alone it should bounce back but if you see that it continues to die off frag it and that should save it

d5332 is 100% correct agree dont touch it unless

Its already off the rock it was on. Will try and target feed soon. I do plan on letting alone to recover just wanted to make sure that was the recommended course of action.

The mushroom was on the far side of this thing and decided to stay put...i was hoping it would have moved. I couldn't see how bad the damage was...quite amazed how much of a hit the war coral took..

How does a mushroom move? Aren't they glued to a rock or plug?

They can pop off and float around the tank till they find a new home.

Wanted to post an update. Been doing better away from the shroom out on the frag rack. Recession seems halted and flesh looks like its starting to grow back now.

Let it heal on its own. Mine was a lot worse then came back

 

[lnevo]

Thanks. Happy with the progress so far. Just need to find a new place to mount it and let it grow back out.

So at this point theres no way to tell where it was injured. Its completely healed up and starting to overgrow onto its new mount.



Also the original mushroom detached and went elsewhere. In the meantime, a little bit of tissue left behind has been thriving. Its just 3 eyes right now but they have tentacles out almost all the time and definitely getting bigger.
