Revive star polyp?

[Wilkerson.reed]

I am 14 and new to reefing. Is it possible to revive star polyp frag that are this dead? I lost mine a few months ago and had no idea where it went... I have a sand sifting goby so what I assume happened was it got knocked off my rock and my goby covered it with sand... Can I revive it or is it too far gone?

Those things will grow back even if it's been scrubbed completely off. Just keep your water parameters good and keep it face up and it should come right back

Sorry about the algae... It still has a little bit of the purple stuff so does that mean it's still alive? Or is it completely dead?

Is it good that the purple is still there?

Yup just give it some time. Keep testing and doing water changes

They like a bit of flow. That should make it open back up.

My tiger pistol took a piece of 1 into his borough for about a month. It came back out and with a light and flow it bounced right back.

Hard to tell in pics but I agree that they're super hardy and given flow and light should pop right back

I've seen them bounce back as long as it's still fleshy even without any visable polyps.

I have both a dual high out out t5 one 10,000k and one actinic and a 78 led full spectrum light... Is this enough to help them back? It also has an all blue feature...

 

[moulton1853]

More than enough. I have them under t5 and they have doubled in just 4 months. If there is purple tissue on the rock they will come back.

If it doesn't pull through I'm sure someone will give you a chunk.
