    that looks bad. like shipbear said I think you'll need to cut the top portion off above the hole and glue it to another rock. good luck.

    it will rot fast, we had to frag our finger leather onto rocks. I have a problem of getting them to stick to the rock. I might try some string.

    Mine looked like it was melting down and turned a dark greyish color. I cut a big piece off and rubber banded it to a rock. It took off and is looking good now. After I did that the mother coral turned around and is looking better also.
