    The underside got stung by a creeping aiptasia, and now the top side of where it got stung is bleaching, and the edge closest to the sting appears to have tissue reccession. It was glued to the rock, so i took it out and chiseled the part of rock it was on, off, along with the aiptasia.

    Has anyones corals recovered from this? Im running carbon, and theres lots of flow over the coral. will it be ok?

    The coral should recover now that it is no longer being stung. An iodine dip will help the recovery.
