Damaged bubble coral

I do not know if anything should be done, but if it was happy before and you put it back in the same location I would think it will heal over time as long as it is not stressed too much more
Not really a whole lot you can do. Just put it back, it will grow new bubbles in time I would think.
That sucks, but it's a reefer's life!
I would maybe dip in it revive or iodine LPS are prone to BJD
BJD?? ???The_Codfather said:
Brown jelly disease.
I think BJD is brown jelly disease, a bacterial infection that can spell doom once it starts. Dipping it probably couldn't hurt-kind of like cleaning a wound when you hurt yourself, or getting a preventative course of antibiotics from the doc if you get a bad laceration or something. As for the frog spawn? same idea, nothing you can do now, so just put it back and watch it. I got some awesome frogspawns from a member here, and after a very swift pH rise and alkalinity drop, my f.s.'s looked terrible. I just adjusted my parameters back to normal, and within a week or so, the ailing frogspawns were back to normal. Now they are doing better than fine (they are freaking huge). Just a testament to how tough corals really are. Generally I think we all drive ourselves nuts in this hobby worrying too much! ;D
I totally agree with that one!GluttonousSolarWrasse said:
I just had a case of BJD and i dipped it in revive and also dosed the tank with Vitamin C for 10 days due to the fact that some of the jelly blew off when i was pulling out the coral.. next time I'll remember to turn the PH off

That's another point. Jonathan and I have completely divergent testing and dosing regimens. Pretty polar opposite actually, and both tanks look great. Just goes to show that whether you are super strict or not so strict you can have a great looking reef!
Totally agree with that as well. I rarely test ANYTHING. I could have probably could have done all of the testing I did in the past 10 years in with one test kit if they didn't expire. Not really something to brag about, but I don't have the patience to test. I have a filly grown reef with the occasional hair algae or cyano show up, but I blame that on my Well water problems as well as the Dry food I use.GluttonousSolarWrasse said:
LOL, I'd like to see the video of that one howze!
