well the title says it all. i was fragging my mother colony of monti digi and decided i wanted to move it too so i totally clipped it free of where it was, did my fragging then i glued the mother back to a medium size rock that so i could put it in the spot i wanted. So i glued it like normal and as i was putting it back in the tank, i moved over the anemone (still out of the water) and thats when the glue decided to give and the coral fell right into the grasp of my BTA. i tried to act fast and panicked and yanked the coral from the death grasp as quick as i could... so i look at the coral and notice there are still some tentacles on it. so i pulled off the ones i could and cut off the branch tips that i couldnt get the tenticles off of. So then i glued it back to the rock and used a little more glue this time to make sure it wouldnt fall off. So got it done and all now im just hoping it survives, so i guess what im tryin to do is see if anyone has any input. Positive is always nice
, but im not expecting it. I personally think the the coral is doomed as it was completely engulfed int the anemone. but hey, i cant do anything about it now.
also for anyone wondering the anemone is fine. It shrunk last night when this happened but today looked fine fully inflated again and seemed the tentacles were healed already.

yeah ill definitely let you know what happens. yesterday which was day 2 after the stinging it seemed that there was some discoloration and i could see the tentacle marks on the coral. there was slight polyp extension but not enough for me to be happy. Now i just gotta wait till the lights come up today and see if its any better.

yeah i had a frag of purple digi fall into some palys the other night and even that killed off a little tissue... its growing back though, just cross your fingers! like you said its either gonna grow back or its not so just hope for the best.

well its almost a week later right now and palyps are still extending although still not full, but i am not seeing significant tissue loss although i do see some discoloration still there, i think this coral may pull through this.
