Help Please!

Woke up this AM to find an Echinata frag I had glued a while back broken off and landed right on the side of my scoly. The scoly is the loser here, and tissue is discolored and puffy on one side of its edge. Anything I can do to help it recover?

I would just leave it alone. If it is only discolored it should be fine. Maybe post a pic of the scoly to help everyone see how bad it is (or isn't).

agree with above to just leave it alone. I had a chalice frag fall and landed on my scoly's side, it was discolored and puffy like yours, it cleared up in 2-3 days.

The other day my fighting conch knocked one of my Yumas into my dragon soul Favia/goniastrea in the middle of the night and the dragon soul looked really rough for a few days, still doesn’t look completely healed, but I’m pretty sure it will recover. So long as its not completely disintegrated, it should recover, so long as the mouth isn’t totally obliterated it can recover.

Good idea haha. Here’s the pic. It’s healthy otherwise.

Ok, that's not too bad looking. When they get stung they let out slime or whatever like that for a while while they heal. I think it will recover faster than you think.

Great looking scoly BTW!
