Can this brain coral be saved?

[AB Corals]

Bought this guy injured, started feeding it mysis and phytoplankton, sometimes throw in some reef roids to the mix and spot feed it every 2-3 days. My question is can the skeleton repair itself? My parameters are spot on minus phosphates got to 0.2 because I had my carbon and gfo reactor off for a bit while I was treating a algae. Tank is algae free no problems now. Calcium 447, nitrates 0-5, ammonia 0, alk 8, ph 7.8 (getting this up again slowly to 8), mag 1320. Anything else I should be doing?

I should also add its in a low flow place, and I run radion lights, 35% currently on coral lab schedule. I was told radion lights at a 35% are like a 70% kessil strength. Should I shade it a little more at the injured end of it? The last owner of it said that his shrimp and fish would eat the food as soon as he would spot feed it, so it was starving is why he sold it.

Looks like you have some cyano, so water quality could be an issue with recovery? I wouldn't go crazy trying to feed it constantly, but addressing water quality, the right flow and lighting will help.

So just to make sure you know you have a lps not an sps. But it can recover but water needs to pristine. Also raise up your mag to 1400 slowly, your a bit low if it decides to heal it self it will chew up that mag and it can get low. And you are gonna have to manually remove the cyano via a turkey Baster, take it out the tank completely. And don’t feed to much. Only once a week. Feeding it is not really helping the water. Put your reactor back on. And let it do it’s thjng. If it wants to keep living it will heal it self. It will take a bit of time for that to recover. So don’t think bad if you don’t see change by tomorrow. And it may help if you brush of the algae that it has on it.

Ended up with I believe dinos... it was stringy with bubbles attached to it. Covered everything it was horrible! Did a 3 day blackout after sucking out all the stuff I could, and added Waste-Away. Slowly bringing my lights back up. So far so good! Crossing my fingers thats dealt with and gone!
