will my candy cane coral die???

[abirozy]

Hello

I just purchased a kryptonite candy cane coral (3 heads). When I was snapping it off of the frag base, it snapped the stalk near the flesh part of the head. Therefore when I put the remaining stalk in a hole in my rock, the fleshy part of two of the three heads rests on the live rock.

QUESTION:

Are my coral heads going to recede where they are touching the live rock?

:-(

You will just have to give it time and see what happens. They are very hardy so it should be fine.

Corals will adapt to the surface, like they do when they break off on a reef.
