i went out and purchased a scolymia that caught my eye. when i took it home, i noticed there was a small aiptasia on the base, and proceeded to burn it away with a soldering iron.

for the past few days it was doing ok but a couple of days, the "skirt" that opens and closes to cover the mouth looks like it got caught on one of the skeleton protrusions, and cant close up like it did before. i cant really tell if the protruding skeleton has flesh left on it, but im leaning towards yes. what dos yall thinks?
 
Whoops forgot the pictures.
