    I have a couple simple questions about coral. I have a mushroom on a rock that I accidentally dropped into the sand. The shroom was between the rock and the sand. The shroom wasn't completely crushed but it has been more than 24 hours and it still wont "open"

    Secondly, if a Zoa frag comes loose from its base but still opens up can I just basically place it anywhere I want and will it grow and propagate?

    Thanks again!

    Shroom should come back after a couple light cycles. (couple days)

    The Zoa as I understand em yep just carefully glue it back down somewhere. Carefull to keep the glue on the bottom and not on the top/polyp.

    +1 just use some super glue gel

    Mushrooms always seem to bounce back it just will take some time
