Salvage torch - what are the odds it'll survive?

[kilnakorr]

I went to a local coral pusher tonight, to see some new arrivals.
After I finished drooling like a malfunctioning ATO pump, I noticed a small 3 headed frag I couldn't identify. Well, it was torch looking miserable and he said it never really opened after he got it, several weeks ago.
So he offered it to me free of charge, so why not.
So a few shots after dip, and about 1 hour later:

I did remove what looked like a clam from the side, and gave it a good brush (while dipping).

So, does it look like it might survive?

For just putting it in your tank it looks great. I suspect it will be just fine.

Crossing fingers. Unfortunately lights are out for the day, so we'll see what happens tomorrow.

free coral = guaranteed success
several hundred dollar coral = bleached out by tomorrow morning.

So True. I have a TSA sweet tooth in my tank I paid retail for. Only thing that isn’t doing well.
