Help With Green slimer

[GhoSt3366]

Hello everyone,

I was looking for peoples opinion on what I should do in this scenario. I bought this piece about 3 weeks ago and it seems like its doing well. Nice color and polyp extension. The issue is when I purchased it one small branch was missing flesh and was a white skeleton. I have been monitoring it and it seems like it might be losing a little bit more tissue in that area. From the research I have done, it seems like some people say just to leave it and it will eventually grow over, and other people say to cut it taking a little flesh off also.

What do people suggest?:

Should I leave it be and hope for the best that it wont recede more and will eventually grow over the white area.

or

should i take it out of the tank ( only real way i could cut this part) and cut this part back. I just thought to not disrupt it more is why I have not done this.



Lastly if I do cut it, wont it still have skeletal exposed due to the cut?


Thank you in advance,

You can cover the edge where the flesh meets the skeleton with superglue to keep it from receding more. This works for me about 80% of the time.

Thank you for the reply. So put some glue where the flesh ends, I'm guessing its ok if a little gets on the flesh then?

Thanks again

Yes, cover a bit of the tissue that's receding
