Hammer coral help pls.
Ok, I have a hammer that was being attacked by my filefish. I got the filefish out and one head he completely killed and the other head I managed to save so I think anyways. It hasn't really opened back up it has been a few weeks. Is there anything I can do?

All you can do is wait.Hopefully it will recover.You can try a mendicant called a coral dip.
|
The best thing is to leave it alone for a while.
|
Yes.
One thing that will help is being sure your alkalinity is around 8.3 and your calcium about 420, and your magnesium about 1350. Correct them in this order: mg, then alk, then cal. |
If that head dies, leave it where it is. Sometimes after you think they are dead new heads can pop out.
|
+1 on leaving it alone
Corals don't like to be moved around. Let it heal and grow. |
That's the big benefit of branches rather than walls....lose a branch, keep the rest...but once the wall starts going...bye bye...
|
Don’t give up on it, can take a while for it to come back!
|
iodine dip may help. good luck. its amazing how well corals can regenerate. as long as theres some type of indication of flesh of coral i would keep it in the tank and hope for the best. hth
