One of my rock flowers went for a walk last night and stung two of my cynarinas. The smaller looks the worst. A bit deflated on one side with some white filaments one the sting location. Any advice? Wait and watch? Iodine dip? Thanks.

I would just wait it out. A dip right could possibly just stress it out further. Just make sure the coral is isolated and on a lower flow area where it can try to recover naturally.

I had a rock flower sting my reverse bleeding apply scoly and it took a very very long time for the scoly to recover from it, in fact it never fully recovered. Fleshy LPS takes stings very very harshly imo

The cynarinas are looking better today. I have 7 rock flowers. Turns out they are spawning. It's the males that are out walking the sand. Had to move a second away from the cynarinas today. Fun but stressful.
