I have been through polyp bail out and corals fighting for a last chance at life, but never like this. I house 2 torches, 3 fat hammers, and one frog spawn and never had it bail. It stuck with me through thick and thin and never attempted something like this. My water params are perfect....., except ammonia ... but here me out it’s an API test kit and literally none of my other corals/livestock have even shown signs of stress.
Ph-8.0
Nitrate- .10
Nitrite-0
Ammonia like .50 (but no other livestock is so I assume it’s 0, but I did a large water change shortly after just in case).
This leads me to believe that the stress of the split caused it to bail... it recently was huge and eating and over the period of 3 days of it being scrunched up and not eating, I can see the skin around the polyp it self flapping in the current.
I have heard of people reattaching the polyp to a plug or putting it in a rock and waiting for it to make a skeleton... can this happen?
The only thing I can think of that I changed was it’s location and flow, but that was like a full month and a half ago, and ever since it ate and was large. I moved it down to a low flow/low light area, but am Devastated as I grew this one head to 3 only to have it bail. This guy had the largest mouth and ate the MOST food I have ever seen.
let me know if you have any suggestions or any way to revive this guy. It’s only the one polyp in the front, but the back 2 polyps that are splitting are slowly becoming affected and ditching.
Please excuse the picture,no don’t plan on messing with it anymore. You can vividly see the skeleton, I can’t see any signs of BJD either.
