Hello all! I have a cabbage coral that I am trying to nurse back to health. I moved this coral from my 20 gallon cube over to my 40 gallon lagoon recently. It has been in the 40 for about a week. While in my 30 gallon, the entire tank was ravaged by some super aggressive GHA. I feel like the coral is trying to come back (never saw it extend its tentacles until it was placed in my 40). The coral also appears to almost be expelling its sclerites (yes, I looked this term up and took awhile to find the proper name). Question is, has anyone ever had a cabbage do this and comeback, or is this a lost cause and the coral is slowly going to die? I know these things are extremely resilient, so I am hoping it is not the fading away.

I've had a cabbage coral loose it's sclerites and come back super healthy. Now I have it again on a different cabbage coral. We'll see what happens. Lots of waters changes helps. For me, it was a sign of high ammonia. I overloaded my quarantine tank when I had to put all my livestock in there for an emergency.
