Hack shop torch frag - advice for recovery?

[VintageReefer]

Bought a torch coral online, it arrived, opens nicely, color matches listing picture, it seems healthy. Realized from the fresh glue and size of the coral this is a hack shop fresh cut. Whatever I’ll let it grow out.

Upon close inspection of the base I see that one of the heads has exposed skeleton and the other head has flesh covering the skeleton - as it should

What should be done to help that left head heal up? Even if it’s a fresh cut, new heads should grow with flesh covering the top of the skeleton right?

Yes you are correct they should have a flesh ring below the "crown". Proper parameters especially not to much flow and feeding should recover. Looks maybe from fragging not recession.

I’ve lowered my flow and checked all parameters, everything is good and stable for my tank. I have small pellets, mysis, and powder based foods to feed. Just needs time and monitoring I guess

Ya, should have a nice flesh band. Moderate flow and light and consistent parameters. Feed it the mysis. I was given a rescue torch in June that I couldn’t see a flesh band. It has doubled in size and I hd to frag back my birdsnest because it was stinging it.
