Here is what I did:
I very gently glued it to the plug (spread a super thin layer of glue in the center and basically just set it on it) and glued the skeleton to a plug as well, then moved them both down and to the lowest flow possible. Unfortunately this was after they’d sat in a bag in the trash for a few hours, didn’t see some of these replies until late. But there was water in the bag so they never dried out and I floated the bag again for 20ish minutes to re temp acclimate them. I don’t have super high hopes for either piece but, you can never be sure if you don’t try. I’ll try to update as we go.
I did see a sweeper tentacle out from the polyp shortly after I put them back in the tank, before I turned anything back on. So maybe there is hope yet.

It’s been about an hour now and it’s already starting to reinflate! Trying not to get my hopes up but I definitely never expected it to react so well right away.
How’d that work out? I just had a torch bail and am wondering if I can save the head.It’s been about an hour now and it’s already starting to reinflate! Trying not to get my hopes up but I definitely never expected it to react so well right away.

It was fine for a while, it started to regrow some skeleton so I tried glueing it onto a new plug and it ended up exploding into little pieces in the current.
How long did your polyp last glued to the plug? I had polyp bailout in June and have been keeping the heads in a isolated box. It's been 4 months now and they still inflate. I am wondering if I should try to glue mine to a plug or rock.
