Wish you the best of luck, it will grow back in no time. Make sure you keep the skeleton of the coral clean by blowing it off with a turkey baster atleast every other day and out of direct light until all the flesh has grown back. This will help reduce the chance of algea build-up on the skeleton.

ive cut the lighting hours on my nano down to about 5-6 hours a day hopefully thats enough as i dont have anywhere in my nano that is out of the light. only bad thing is it has brought flatworms into my tank i knew it had them on it and meant to blast it down before i put it in. i feel a sixline wrasse coming on

I got the same problem going on... I got ill, and neglected the tank, and after a week, I have serious flesh recession... How much flow do they prefer the most. He is in a corner of my sump, in the dark, so I can baby him... but i wanna know how much flow, if any, I should give him.
(sorry for the side-tracking, but it is kinda the same topic... SOS SAVE OUR SUNS!)

Low flow or medium flow is fine for Tubastrea sp.
Continue to keep it in the dark or low light until all the flesh has grown back on the coral.

The fungus is among us.
Cardinals always look hypnotized. Or dumb.
I've started feeding my tubastreas a mix of mysis and small spectrum pellets. Someone on here suggested using pellet food and said it's has much denser nutrition.

i ordered some fm foods but more for when i start getting some gorgs. i am so totally fascinated by azoox corals, i think its in the fact that they are less common and have a bit more of a challenge.

doesnt look to be open just as well tonight but it had a real good feed
heres my very first sun coral in very bad condition, i know i can save it but its going to take a lot of work. i decided it wasnt getting enough in the tank so into the jug it goes.
