hey folks,

I purchased a torch coral and noticed when dipping it that it has a small hole on the side of the skeletal structure. If you look closely you can see where the torch sits and you could even see a tentacle tip or two peeking through. I guess my question is will the torch survive even with that hole? No signs of infection or brown jelly. Tissue still has its color. It did expel some zooxanthele when I dipped it. I have had the coral for 2 days now and it hasn't opened. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
