Fellow reefers, I recently purchased an unknown soft coral species and yesterday woke up to my whole tank stressed. My new soft coral was sucked into the power head and was all closed up. I assume it released toxins because it was stressed from being shredded. All of the fish and corals were irritated, but I did a quick water change and it was all taken care of. I took care of the problem in my tank and no corals or fish perished.
What I need help on is identifying this soft coral and finding out if it will live or not. I took the soft coral out and put it in a quarantine tank with some flow and a heater. It is still really closed up and not happy. It has also been releasing a layer of some white mucus. Wondering if it will make it. The water is also new as I set up the qt tank today and waited about an hour before putting in the coral. The water is a little foggy, and not sure if it’s from the white mucus.
here are some pictures:
