So my friends sent me some cell phone pictures. They tried reglueing the scoly back to the skeleton again today:

What's really odd is it is in every way behaving normally and even feeding much to the Algae Blenny's jealousy!

If the scoly doesn't hold they may try wrapping it in mesh. I will keep you posted. Very strange...
:ooh:

Are they trying to attach with expoxy, coral glue, or both? I would think coral glue would have the best chance. Have they recently switched to led lighting or significantly increased the amount of light scoly is getting?

I think they were just using glue but the picture looks like maybe they are also using epoxy. They had the scaly in an aquapod and moved it to a bigger tank with much higher flow. The lighting was also different.
