When i first got the chalice, it was a bit rough from transport and had some of its "spikes" or skeleton showing around the rim of the tissue, then some parts got fractured by other frags falling on it but seems to have healed over but now it has some folds/craters where the fractures used to be but recently since friday last week it stopped deflating to cover its skeleton rim and has had its spiky skeleton exposed for a few days now, I gave it a dip in coral revive earlier, do i emergency frag the rim? or will it heal over.

Also with the green torch (closed from moving it), I got it as a cheap "save me" coral (it had no flesh band), ive since gotten it to grow a very thin small layer but do you guys think it will be able to fully recover? since the skeleton looks like its very deep in but also it seems theres "two skeletons" on it (the euphyllia streaky skeleton) as its growing in its own skeleton but around that skeleton theres a larger skeleton that goes all around its structure and is completely bare, or did it receed fully before and has started regrowing a new skeleton? Will the torches be fine touching each other and the tentacles touching each others frag plugs and skeletons / glass or will i have to get another frag rack to seperate further

thanks guys,

The chalice looks totaly fine, the torches can be close with no issue as long as they are from the same region like indo can stay with indo and aussie with aussie but they some time can be togethur but main thing is not to let their skeletons touch.
