One of my chalice frags got bulldozed off a rock by a snail or crab, I see a little damage on the coral itself. A bit concerned if the coral will live. If it doesn’t get messed with from here on out. Any one have any info?
 
If it is just tissue damage from the fall it will probably be OK/recover as long as parameters are OK. If it was happy in it's spot I would probably put it back more securely.

Define flesh damage?

Ive had fish knock mine over to see them quickly recover

Basically what I am getting at is was it damage by just the fall or did it get stung by another coral during the process? More likely to be fine if it was just injured by the fall. . . at least in my opinion. Either way, put it back where it was and keep an eye on it.
 
You're going to need a much clearer photo for us to give a good opinion. Flesh damage as in damage to the tissue of the coral
I’m going to have to dig out the GoPro and put it in side the tank to take a better picture.
