    Polyp bailout? Not likely to recover. Are the pieces attached to skeleton? This would be different.

    He said his polyps(or heads) fell off & they are now on his frag rack.

    How do you suppose the coral just "lost two heads" out of nowhere? This is why I asked if there was skeleton attached. Sounds like polyp bailout to me. What does it sound like to you?

    Bad luck? hehe.

    My first guess here (w/o more info) would be too high of flow pulling the polyps off.

    I was just trying to clarify. But I guess it should be he who should carify, as obviously I can't see what he is seeing.

    We need a pic.

    I think what his trying to say is, his frogspawn fell off the rock and bruised the 2 head?
