Hello guys,
I had an issue last night, that wave maker that was switched off due to being too strong and was about to be replaced excitedly came on ( stupid auto program) ,
And literally blew the flesh off the plate coral.

I found the skeleton and the polyp, put the skeleton in the breeder box ( on the sponge to level it), and put the polyp on top of the skeleton.

it opened and even accepted some LPS granules.

Now that it's alive, my question is what to do.

Should I leave it on its skeleton or put it on a rock, what has the best chance of reattaching? and does it even attach on its own or should I glue it?
Any suggestions are welcome, please help me save it. Thanks

Need to find out the cause. Doubtful it was the WaveMaker. Current parameters? Lighting? Age of tank?

It was the wave maker , it’s a giro one in the 40cm nano. It was literally lifting the polyp off the skeleton. It was switched off but I forgot the program and it started in the morning ripping out that and 2 polyps off the candy cane.

Dkh 10.5
Ca 465
Mg 1400
Ph 8.3
