Healing corals?

[richardhmc]

I had setup a 20 gallon tank to hold my corals and livestock while I wait up to set up my new tank. Space was limited but I managed to make enough space for each.

However, I looked at my tank today and saw that my acan and my war coral were stuck to each other with white stringy stuff attaching each other. I pulled them off and they don't look great where they touched.

How can I heal these corals? Is it possible?

Thanks

Really nothing you can do except to let them heal on there own with time. Leave space, do some direct feedings and leave them alone. You'll be surprised at the healing power of corals.

If you however encounter that the coral(acan or war coral) continues to STN or RTN, then you might have to frag the acan(untouched head), war favia corallite(eye or eyes) to ensure survivability and stop the spread of infection and wipping out the entire colonies. JMO.

Alright thanks I'll just keep up with my water parameters and hopefully they'll heal quickly

my money is on the war coral...

 

[richardhmc]

Nope, the acan did. I looked at my acan before and it was perfectly fine. But the war coral has a white area now

once burned, do they come back? my war coral - half of it is white

 

[DrHarryLopez]

Usually that part is dead...
