Long story but here it goes...
There was this huge all purple wall frogspawn colony at my LFS and i noticed there was this good sized Branch (yes on a wall FS) and i asked the owner if we could frag it and id buy it, and he said sure. We cut the base of the branch below flesh with some cutters and i guess from the pressure build up it cut the branch off at the base like i wanted, BUT it literally split the new frag in half skeleton and flesh. So i got it home acclimating ASAP. I got it super glued it to some rock rubble(i dont like frag plugs) and put it in my tank in the sand bed with low flow and changed my current LEDs to white-20% and blue-25%. That was all yesterday afternoon, and today when i get home i notice a little bit of tenticle extension. Doesnt seem to be dying its keeping its color. Im aware to look for brown jelly disease and how to treat it. So as of now ive seen nothing but improvement, should i just keep doing what im doing and treat it like any other coral, is there anything else i should do? I havnt tried feeding yet because the tenticles are barely out. Any suggestions on how to make it heal faster, open up more?
Current tank parameter:
Ammonia:0
Nitrite:0
Nitrate:15
Calcium:500
Alk:11
Mag:1200
Salinity:1.022
Temp:80
Tank been set up for 2 months but i have a pair of clowns, torch, polyps, xenia, GSP all doing good.
