New LTA will it survive?

[Reef1589]

so i just bought a LTA earlier today, got it home, drip aclimated it.. everything seemed to be going fine i noticed it wasnt doing as well as others though.. (this isnt my first LTA) ... so watching it all day long.. (i bought it earlier this morning)
still puffy it, its mouth is somewhat open.. i couldnt figure it out, till i went and watched a movie... and came back up and it was on its side
when they took it out of the tank its foot must of been attached somewhat..
and there is a small pinprick of a tear ... in its foot ... will it be fine?
what kinda precautions do i need to take? and how do i nurse it to better health... ?

ive never delt with a small tear in a foot

here's a picture, its not as bad as it looks, its not as long as the white spot, that is just stuff hanging from where the pinprick is..

so watya think?

This is just my experiences, and hopefully yours will be different... I have had 3 LTAs that has similar "spots" in their foot, some bigger, and none of them made it.

aw =[ im sorry about yours, ya i hope mine turns out differently.. =/
since its trying to heal its foot should i just leave it there on its side? cause thats seem to be what its doing..

so woke up this morning, and it was sitting upside down.. like i figured it would cuz it seems like its just letting the flow blow it over, so i had to flip it back over.. =/ not looking to good, mouth is still open, but doesnt look like its spitting itself out yet, its just open.. =/ we'll see how it goes today .

making progress, he looks more firmer... and his mouth has closed alot more withen the 24 hrs.. he still hasnt attached his foot to anything but its looking like it has hope so far..

just curious if it ends up laying upside down (foot up, mouth down) ... should i tip it over or just leave it? ...

Great =D Made a succesfull comeback,

i think anyways? looks healthy to me? tear on its foots gone, but it seems like it lost its condy color look ...so idk if thats good or bad? it seems like the color has gotten more solid ... so im assuming thats good?

its not as sticky as i think it should be, but still eats.. kinda gotta help it a little bit...
