A bit of a drama happened today. My candy cane was not getting best, so I have moved it an inch lower and with less exposed to the flow location. Sounds about right yeah?
However, hermit decided to check it out and somehow managed to break it off the rock (epoxy was not fully settled?). Coral fell up side down onto a war coral... It was like that maybe 15-30 minutes... I glued it back but noticed that where it hit badly the war coral some of the skeleton is exposed?
It did not released the "string" so it did not die, extremely stressed.

Will it make it?

It "pumped" a bit since photos were taken. I am keeping it under 60% blues, earlier it was also under 20% whites (Aquanight gen2).

I am a bit panicking...

edit: despite looking as it had a hard time (before the incident) I can clearly see a new head coming out!

There’s nothing else you can do. If it was healthy and growing to begin with I bet it will be ok. Good luck.

This is actually a good news! If it would be a toast you would probably let me know :)
I need to figure what to do with those hermits... They made a battling ground on my war coral, damaged it severely...

I am keeping it under blues for the rest of the day, just to try getting them chilled a bit.
