could it still be saved? it's very minor at this point. it's a short tentacled plate, about 5 ~ 6'' in diameter.
 
whew that is so glad to hear :D

do i target feed it's mouth with a turkeybaster? should i isolate it with a plastic container over it with holes so food wouldn't get stolen or blown away?
 
Yes target feed it's mouth with a baster then place a small plastic bottle with the bottom cut off over it until it has digested the food or simply place the bottle over it and baste through the top of the bottle!

Even if it looks white and dead, leave it: they often reproduce on their own skeletons.bbb
 
Thank you guys :D I would hate to lose this coral. It is absolutely stunning!

Any idea how big these guys can get? It's starting to grow too big for my tank.
 
Dont worry I had my pepermint shrimp go to town on a plate and left a huge part of its skeleton open. 3 moths later its doing fine and starting to heal. What helps is dosing salifert's amino acids. It provides corals the nutrients for tissue generation.
