Coral help

[Ry1]

Hi guys so this has started happening to one of my corals and the rest looks fine as in pictures, i seen one of my bigger hermits climbing on the side that is now damaged, could this be the cause? Will it grow back? Thanks

Wall hammers are notoriously difficult once they start dying

Is it possible for them to come back though?
Because the rest of the hammer looks fine.

It’s not likely but anything is possible

Usually a wall coral won’t come back once part is dead. Some say an Isidore dip may increase tour chances but still unlikely to heal.

Bummer- sorry about your hammer

Will it affect the part that is ok of the coral? Does it mean it will all die.

Unfortunately, very likely.

Just saw I had a typo I meant iodine dip. . The iodine as long as you’re following directions shouldn’t hurt the coral any more, but will help and promote healthy healing and less chance of an infection of some sorts. But this may not help. I’ve heard some people cut them- but at this point in my “reefing career” I don’t have the confidence to try that. Maybe others have tried with success but unfortunately in my experience it’s a goner.

Well i will try my best with it and see what happens, no harm in trying i guess. Thanks

Yeah, no harm in trying- I would try if it was me too- just be aware or the most likely outcome so you don’t get too disappointed. Good luck my friend- I sincerely hope it recovers for your. Take care and happy reefing
