    And a once dead coral is brought back to life.

    My first coral was actually a large red and white feather duster seen in this video at 0:15 It seemingly died a couple months ago, and today after my second water change in 2 weeks it is back to life. Must have been sleeping or something.

    Great to hear, I imagine you thought it was dead because it dropped it's crown? That is a response to stress so maybe you had some high nitrates or something that it didn't like, or maybe your salinity got out of whack somehow, who knows. Glad it's back on course!

    Also, for the record, feather dusters are polychaete worms, not coral. :)
