Nem is not looking so good right now

Last night a small head from the Hammer coral broke off... guessing it was from my LG turbo snail.

The Nem decided it would be a great idea to catch it as it blew across the substrate... I do not know how long he held onto it, but they decided to keep stinging each other until I pulled them apart this morning... I'm not sure who won, but they both look like they have been worked over pretty hard. The nem has lost a few tentacles i noticed, and also cleaned up from the rock work in the tank.
The most interesting thing is the head of hammer coral was roughly smaller then a dime when all expanded in the lights...
How long until the nem might look better? Right now he is all curled up hiding and not having a care for anything...

There's nothing you can really do for it. You'll just have to wait and see if it recovers. Trying to move it would probably just stress it out more.

I never planed on moving him, just babying him if needed :)

That's unfortunate... You just have to wait and hope that it recovers. I wouldn't try anything in excess of your normal routine as any increased stress will only sweet it back further. Be diligent in keeping your water quality stable to minimize any additional stress on the nem. Good luck!

Let it do its thing. I once dropped a rock on a nem and thought it was done for. Instead it just split and was back to normal in a couple weeks. Wouldnt be surprised if yours did the same thing.
