wellsophyllia coral puncture wound

[iNTEL]

Hello all, hope everyone is doing fine. So I was way for the weekend came back to see one of chalice coral on my wellsophyllia. It looks a little bit wounded. Any insight on the coral surviving or helping it recover. Please see attachment. Thank you all for your time and effort. Certainly appreciate it.

stable water parameters always favor healing corals. you can also try dipping in some iodine (lugol's iodine) for a few minutes to help fight off bacterial infection.
