Broke my monitora plate

[Noob2015]

I cracked my montipora plate while trying to putty to back of tank! I was trying to be SO gentile! Did I just kill it or will it continue to grow? It's my first SPS

It will continue to grow

If it only cracked it will likely heal. If it broke completely you now have two - that's kind of how fraging works.

I had one that broke on the way home. I didn't really want 2 so I glued them close to one another on the same rock. It grew into itself and now you can hardly tell!

Whew. Thx guys....I dropped some f bombs over it. First reef tank and first SPS so still learning from mistakes.

You just learned how to frag my friend

You just did what mother nature does during storms; you propagated the coral.

+1 on gluing back. I did the same thing a week ago and tried superglue. Today you can hardly tell!

I broke the first month tried to glue to my back wall so I glued on two right next to each other. Two weeks later I wasn't paying attention and fragged it again with my arm. Now that particular one is glued on in three places and I really like how it's growing out. I was actually looking at it tonight and thinking about fragging it again and glueing the new one a little lower since I started out kind of high.
