Hello everyone,
Yesterday morning, a 3/4" hermit crab fell on my Long Tentacal Plate Coral. I didn't see it until the crab was almost all the way off of it, but the damage was done. One quarter of it couldn't hold water and has since deteriorated to almost nothing. When should I romove it & what should I do with it?
I want to keep the skeletal structure because maybe I can get som zoo's to grow on it. Should I put it in my FOWLR & let my angel pick at it? Thanks for any help!

John
