Just wanted to share this. Had a Frag skeleton on a plug that looked totally dead for a few months. I noticed a single polyp has grown back. Looks like a lepto. Hard to get a good pic. 1 inch PVC being it for scale. 1st picture is taken through a magnifying glass

Awesome, I had the same thing happen to a Pectinia coral. It was just bare skeleton and I remember reading somewhere that sometimes corals will come back so I just left it in my tank, sure enough a couple months later and there is about 1/4” of flesh growing back.
