Hello everyone, I’m new to this hobby. I’d like to ask: my coral detached from its frag and drifted somewhere into a corner of the tank, but I haven’t been able to find it yet. Do I need to take the whole layout apart to look for it, since the coral is quite small? If I can’t find it, will it affect the tank in any way?

Details help. Help us help you and provide more information.

What type of coral?

How long has tank been set up?

How did you cycle the tank?

What are tank parameters?

I suggest you forget about “that coral” and focus on basics like cycling the tank.

I've lost a few corals that fell behind the rocks that I couldn't reach, a dying coral frag won't affect the tank.
