Ugh..upsetting!

Purchased a beautiful golden torch today at ManhattanAquariums. Got it home, took my bone cutters to snip off the plug part of the frag and the whole thing including the torch split in half. I'm just sick to my stomach right now, $80 down the drain.

aww man sorry to here

I'm assuming the whole thing is going to die now.

I. Ant remember we're but I've seen posts of this happening before but I think it was frogspawn... Don't give up on it completely... Can you try ang glue the skeleton back together or is it completely detached? Do you have a pic?

 

[Djbetterly]

Its completely detached. The fingers haven't completely retracted yet though. I just put it straight in the tank on the bottom with medium flow with hopes it might survive. I could probably glue it, but wasn't sure if glue would be good for it or not.

I sent manhattan aquariums a message, I doubt they'll do anything but its worth a shot.

once you take a set of shears or tools to a coral, all bets are off - however, depending on what actually happened (pics would be helpful) it may be fine.

Can you shoot some pics?

Unfortunately my girlfriend took my camera to Brazil with her, so that's not an option at the moment. Lights are out at the moment for the tank otherwise I'd say you could check out my webcam. If you remember to check out this thread in the morning you should be able to see the two pieces in the cam.

Amazing how these things can ruin your day.

 

[tomtoothdoc]

leave the pieces alone. i have done this before and both halves came back.

Just give it some time and low flow.

I agree I did that with a torch once when I was fragging it and I got 2 instead. Don't give up yet just let it chill out and see what happens.

I checked it out this morning and all looked good. Take a look at my webcam, its a bit small but you can see the split frag in the lower right.

Thank you for taking the time to look at it.
