Whelp made a huge mistake, went to pull my torch off the plug and crushed its skeleton into pieces. Had my wife immediately pour glue on it in attempt to hold it together. And then threw it on a frag rack. This thing was absolutely shattered and I have no idea how the tentacles didn’t fall into pieces. This is 24 hours later. I have it in a very low flow area of the tank. Hope it survives.

If you were lucky and didn’t damage any flashy parts and was just lower skeleton base you will have a pretty good chance of recovery. If the flesh was damaged that’ll be a different story. I’d keep a modest flow going. I’ve found extended periods of low flow were not helpful. I’ve done this myself but not quite to this extent. Just keep it clean with good flow and decent light see what happens.
