Ouch! Stung by Acan

[philosophile]

I had an Acan lord fall on my blue mushroom, and it was stung pretty bad. I have no idea how long they had been in contact with one another, it could have been the better part of the day.

Anyways, this morning I checked on the shroom and the mouth is still intact, but there is a pretty nasty looking hole next to it.

I moved it to a low flow area. any other suggestions to help make this one pull through? I'll post pics later today.

Here is the stung shroom:

You can kinda see the mouth still there on this one, but you can't really appreciate the damage done.

I think this picture gives a better view of the damage....

So.... Any help would be appreciated.

i think itll be fine. mushrooms are pretty hardy and that doesnt look too bad. considering mushrooms can grow from a little fragment it should be just fine.

It'll be fine. I had a shroom on the back side of a rock near an aiptasia and I didn't notice the shroom until after I hit the aiptasia with Kalk paste. The entire shroom was covered with kalk and once I figured things out and blew the kalk off the shroom had a huge hole burned right through the middle (mouth included). 2 weeks later there is not signs that anything ever happened to it.

Well its been almost a month, and the shroom is recovering. It's still missing a piece of its mouth, and you can see where it was stung... it looks a little different in color and isn't as fat there.
