Had to do a bit of rescaping after my urchin pushed a cyphastrea frag into a hole in the rock. ‍

In the process of rescuing my sps, my fat fingers knocked a three headed duncan fall onto the substrate face down. I'm sure I irritated it when I tried to put it back on the rock cause it made a ton of slime on my hands. I also had a blasto fall polyps down on sand and then a small rock partially fall onto it.

I can't even blame the urchin cause dang I am way more of a bulldozer haha

They seem OK for now but would y'all recommend a iodine dip to help them heal from the trauma I put them through today? I turned off all the whites and put the fixtures on the lowest blue setting, I figured it might be gentler on them for now

I wouldn't disturb them any more; doesn't read like anything they can't overcome. Would keep shrimp and crabs away from them if any in tank. Good luck

I’d iodine dip if it look like the Duncan is not getting better. If everything is good they should heal back up quickly
