Saving a bailout bowerbanki

[Rivunel]

So I had a I believe bowerbanki that started bailing out a few weeks back I had recently changed a circulation pump, a little over a month ago, and I think the flow was too high about 25% of the inch and a half polyp was lifted off the skeleton. A little after that i moved coral elsewhere but it has very very slowly been detaching itself more and more from it's skeleton.
The polyp still eats still puts out tentacles at night and will cover up most of the skeleton when I feed it it has been hanging on be almost nothing for nearly a week now.

I read I can put the polyp into a deli dish with Sand and it may grow it's skeleton back any suggestions how to go about this process or how to get the polyp into the deli dis

h without ripping off it's skeleton..

So polyp is now finally off the skeleton and in a Dixie cup it still eats it still seems happyish. How can I keep it in the Dixie cup? Do I glue the polyp down? Do I stretch a spare acrylic mesh over the cup?

See if you can find a similar dish that comes with a lid, probably something at the dollar store would work, and cut out a hole in the lid and replace it with mesh folks use on custom tank lids. Nothing too small since you want adequate water flow and light penetration.

I do have spare mesh from making a lid. Think I could just glue the mesh over the top?

Yea, you could super glue it but you want to make sure you can still get in there if you need to which is why I suggested cutting a hole in the lid of the container.
