Hello fellow enthusiasts. I have had this pectinia for 3 weeks or so. A few days ago the pectinia got injured maybe by a hermit crawling on it. I’m attaching a pic. Of course I don’t want to lose the frag so I’m debating on whether to treat it and if so with what. You can see the spot in the pic. What should I do? Let it alone or take it out and dip it. If so I need a commonly available option for it. The mark isn’t ravaging the coral but it also doesn’t seem to be getting and better. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

The first pic is today second last night. I live in a country where it’s very difficult to get this coral and I don’t want to lose it.

IMHO, I'd do nothing for now and just keep a close eye on it. Maybe photograph it every few days so you can see even very small changes (if any).

If you see it changing quickly, consider more radical treatments.
