Trachyphilla Damage

[Jackmawer31]

Hello all,

Please could you advise me with my Trachy. I’ve managed to slightly rip the tissue of the coral. Just wondering what’s the best chance of recovery.

I hope it’ll just recover!

Welcome to R2R, can you get a picture under white lights please and how did it get damaged?

Thanks . I can try when I’m home. I was doing a water change and the hose slightly caught the end of the trachy

You are not the first and yes I have done it, when you get home rotate so that the damage is the low flow side once you get a pic and make sure non of the base flesh on the skeleton is touching sand, it is very delicate.

Okay! Will do so! I was on the very edge when the trachy was expanded. So not near the skeleton. But I’ll ensure it’s clean
