Coral thriving after an injury.

[camellia]

When I purchased this Wellsi it was injured showing skeleton. Sand continued to get on the skeleton, so I used bone cutters and carefully removed the exposed skeleton.
A year later, the Wellsi started growing new tissue with a mouth, detached from main coral skeleton.


I took it out of the tank weekly and fed it.
Once while away from home, my Nem took a ride down the overflow and lived in the filter sock for a week.

This Nem was 8” before the overflow ride. I didn’t realize it was in the filter sock and took the filter sock off and dumped it upside down under hot running water in my kitchen sink. When it fell out, I had no idea what it was. It was super tough and recovered quickly in a QT so that crabs wouldn’t harm it during recovery.
It got so big, I had to frag it, several times

Very nice recovery! A little TLC and tank stability goes a long ways! Beautiful!

This disaster was from Polytoxin Poisoning. It blinded my tang and killed a lot of coral that had tentacles open at the time the poisonous Poly’s started flying around in the tank. Fortunately many coral lived, recovered and multiplied over the years.
