Hey all, I was take a torch of the base it was attached to and the stem snapped, it separated the polyp but didbt tear it, probably tore it alittle at the base but didbt rip the polyp apart. I glued the stem back together and and placed it back on the sand. Will the torch survive or is it a gonne?

Do you have any pictures? My guess is that it should be OK, but it depends on the damage.

i fragged a torch once and the head cracked in half from the mouth all the way to its base completely separated in two pieces but the head haven't felt off so i out some glue around the base and glued to a frag plug, and so surprisingly it still alive to this day. so as long the polyp still intact with the skeleton it still have high chance to survive

That's pretty much what happend to mine, but it didbt separate so I just glued the head back together, I'm hoping for the best
