So i've been nursing this Candy Cane for a few months now, the polyps never really opened, it looked like this around when I first got it (apologies in advance for iPhone pics):
Today and this must have just happened one of the polyps "ejected" from the coral - I doubt thats the right terminology but as you'll see its just not there (and it was probably 30 minutes ago):
And I can see the polyp wedged (for now I suppose) in my rock (this is the worst of the bad pictures):
So my question is, is the coral with the intact polyp still viable? Is the "ejected" polyp able to survive? Anyone know why it might do this?
