I have a beautifull 12-14" Long tentacle leather in my tank that has been just getting too big.

So yesterday I decided it was finally time to frag it. When i pulled the rock out of the water (due to the weight of the coral) the crown leaned to one side and the steam/trunk ripped. :(

It only ripped about 1/2 way thru but now the coral keeps leaning to that side and it looks to be tearing more and getting worse..

Is this coral salvagable? Should I just let it be and see if it continues to rip more? Or should I just cut it completely off, and frag the rest???

I really would love to make this guy healthy again as it was the main center peice in my tank, but im not sure it can come back from this :(

What should I do????

TIA!!!
 
pick up some coral rx and lugol's iodine and give it a dip for 5 mins. where it has torn, put a zippie tie around it and gradually over the next 14-21 days tighten it one of two 'clicks'. when it breaks free, rubberband it to a piece of rock and send me the frag for the free advice.

just joking.
