Acro battle. How to repair the loser?

[elorablue]

A few nights ago a snail ( I’m assuming) knocked my sunset Millepora loose and of course it fell into one of my orange passion frags. Burnt the heck out of one side. Now I notice some brown algae has attached to the dead part. Outside of brushing off the algae is there something I can do to the damage until it grows back?
thanks

The coral will grow with the time. Maybe you can put some glue in the exposed area. Sometimes I do that with my corals.

then remount as normal.

Ha !! I never got around to starting a build thread for this tank. 6 months in would be a lot of work to catch up.
However, I just ordered a new tank which will be Acropora only so I'll definitely get a build thread going for that one

Darn snails, i've had a few frags get knocked loose as well. I use extra glue now haha. I do what Fishguy said, just watch it, and if it gets worse, cut the dead part off. Keep the algae off and it will probably recover.
Off topic but did you ever find anything out about the red riding hood mille?

im really bad at attaching frags.

Not really about the red riding hood. No answers here. I did find an old sales listing on gta reef that had something called a GR Red Riding Hood but he never lists any info. I don’t know if GR stands for GTA REEF or not. I’ll have to shoot him an email.
there’s been a mm or two of vertical growth on it and I’m really interested to see this one grow and what colour it ends up being.

I suck at it too, but getting a little better. My problem is not using enough glue, and worrying too much about damaging the frag, plus my hands shake a lot. I twist them now in place under water and it seems to help hold.
Yeah I believe GR stands for gta reef. They have a few acro's listed as GR on their site. I'm interested to see how it grows out, its a nice looking piece.
