    So I just brought home a couple of new corals. Picked up a frogspawn and hydnophora.


    I can see that the frogspawn got knocked in a spot or two because I can see some skeleton through the flesh. What are the chances of this healing or should I just cut my losses now :(

    Should heal. They like low to medium flow so just make sure to place it in a good spot in your tank.

    Awesome. So glad to hear that. Yeah the flesh around the skeleton. Looks like it cut right through some of the green flesh so I see a ridge of stark white.

    I had about 6 heads of Frogspawn that were withered to all heck, bleached and so thin that you could see through em, and now only a couple of short months later they are full and colorful as they were meant to be. Im sure yours will do just fine.

    I imagine your frogspawn will heal as well as long as your params are good.

    Watch out for that hydno though, very aggressive coral, give it plenty of space away from other corals.
