Need help!. Monti fell on acan, acan is rotting

[illjoshlli]

Hi,
I just came back from a trip to find my monti fell on top of my acan. They were def.battling. a few of the eyes(?) On the acan are missing their green flesh/ mouth. What should I do? I took some pics but with the lights out it is hrd to see. Basicly the acan has red flesh with a green center(feeding tubes) on some of the eyes the green has fully rotted away. The red flesh sill looks good.
Will the damged parts recover? Should I risk fragging?

Acan now, look at the center eyes

Acan before

Monti that di the jumping attack(the edge of the monti got a little fried too.

Well, the acan was picked clean in the night where it had rotted due to the fight with the jumping Monti. so, now my nice pretty acan as 3 dead sections right in the center. Will it eventually overgrow the dead spots? or should I frag it into smaller pieces

this is pretty frustrating this is the first and best grown coral i had....

If it were me, I would just leave it be.

Leave it .. it will eventually heal up.

I would leave it be as well. If the center of the polyp is still there it should grow back, if not it will probably re-populate that area from the side. If it gets overgrown with algae, you might frag it then. This acan lord grew back after getting destroyed by the acan echinata behind it.

are you sure thats an acan? it kinda looks like a trumpet colony

It does have that look in the pic. It is all one solid piece. Ill take a pic tomorrow of the eatin center where you can see.

Just took a look at it. The rest is sending out feed tenticals, I think it will be alright. Hopefully it out grows the bald spot.

it will heal over the skeleton, it will take time though... all of my acans have individual heads, but i suppose it could be an acan echinata? not sure though, haha, it just looks weird to me, i like the green feeder tenticles though

Wow! Man, I'm sorry that happened! Damn monti cap >:|
Just let it do it's thing though, make sure you keep your water quality the best you can and give it all the elements it can use to help repair itself. Time is on your side! Keep us updated though on what happens, we wish you the best with your coral mate

ouch!! had a similar thing where a chalice fell over onto my austalmoussa and the part that feel got damaged and not there is skeleton there. I hope it recovers and covers the skeleton. Currently im dosing with iodine to help the healing process.
