Just wondering if I should be concerned. It's had the spot since I got it 1.5 weeks ago. I don't think it's changed size at all (the spot).
The coral itself has been eating, healing (it had some skeleton sticking out when I got it), and overall it's inflating more and more (I finally saw tentacles last night).
Just wanting to check if there's something I need to do to remedy it or if someone has more info as to what it might be. I'd just assumed it was like a scab of sorts, but the the longer it's there I'm getting a little paranoid.

Mine looks exactly the same! Was the spot nothing to worry about?
