Just arrived today. Thinking polyp bailout? Think it’ll survive? Already contacted the seller.

it will possibly recover. have seen worse. just give it time, has a healthy base.
Ok good! I did see one chunk of the top float off, which isnt good, but hoping that will be it and it'll recover. I put it in lower light to see if it will do better there.

I'm not seeing an issue other than a bit unhappy from the move. Base looks like it's flesh goes down pretty far and it is also splitting. It's just retracted it seems. Not sure if I'm not seeing something.

Edit: now I do see some brown specs, did you dip before adding?

I think it will likely be fine.... I'd have it in moderate flow for now, but I'd be mad if I was put in a box and shipped UPS too.

The only one I had die on me showed up face down on all of its tentacles, and it was a two headed beast on a heavy rock, it just smashed itself to death. Since that I've asked if the shippers "cup" them, to help prevent this from happening.
