torn zoas

[ruggirello2]

I was fragging my red hornets and one got torn. I was wondering if it will recover and if I should dip it in pure iodine for a couple minutes or the suggested strength of revive for a couple minutes or possibly furon 2.

It's a goner and I would most definitely send it to me to give it a proper burial...right into my DT!

Sorry...I'm no help am I?

50/50 = dying/ or going to be dead soon

Give it time.. if it starts to shrink or "melt" then worry keep it in low flow and wait it out IMO..

if your tank has good stable parameters and nothing bothering the polyp it should be good. I've heard of polyps growing out of just the mat.

zoas are very hardy and can withstand alot. i had polyps that looked aweful after fragging and they came back. give it time to heal and i think it should be ok. if i did that to my red hornet, i would be worried too. hehe i haven't fragged mine yet and i am scared to do it.
i wouldnt dip it or anything. i'd might move it to a low flow area to it doesnt get bounced around from the flow and so it can heal. good luck with it.

it seems like it is starting to slowly open up, so that is a good sign. Thanks for all the input. I will keep you posted

I frequently tear mine to frag them. Sometimes it's valuable aogs that would break some of your hearts, but they usually end up fine. If youre worried about losing 1 polyp while fragging, I don't think your coral is ready to be fragged. jmo. It sounds like youre already on your way to recovery.
