So over the last few weeks I've had a few LPS bail. ICP test showed nothing untoward so it was put down to a few different factors which when brought together seemed to stress a few corals. The tank is settled and all other corals are fine.
I just found the head of the last torch to bail nestled between some rocks and apart from the fact is has no skeleton, it looks pretty happy.
I have put it in a mesh bag and trapped the bag on some rock just a bit lower than where it used to be.
Is there anything I can do to save it. Can I reattach it to the skeleton or will it regrow one?

Someone had a hammer head grow a new skeleton. So it's worth a try. Unlikely but still worth it. The skeleton has a good chance of growing a new head so don't throw it out either.
