High flow on Acro... Mistake

[vsolovyev]

Hi, I have been browsing reef2reef for years now just finally made myself an account. I’m seeking info/advice on a high flow issue with one of my acros. So I was moving some stuff around in my tank and repositioned my bonsai Acro 2 inches away from my power head without realizing... needless to say a few days later I noticed it and my Acro had some flesh blown off, the polyp where it was gone is still fine. I moved it away now so my question is, will this recover?
Alkalinity: 8.3
Salinity: 1.026
Calcium: 460
Temp: 78 F
Nitrate & Phosphate: Under 2 ppm

It’s on the tip of the bonsai near the top/ small portion

As long as you moved the acro back and maintain stable parameters within the tank, the acro will likely regrow over the exposed skeleton in no time!

Also, welcome to Reef2Reef! Glad to have you here! We'd love to see more photos of your tank!

I agree with @andrewey it should recover so long as conditions are right. And yes welcome!

Put it in a calmer spot, keep parameters stable and it’ll probably fully heal within a month.
