Will it Grow back?

phishman · 05-06-2008, 04:11 PM

My condy nem decided after 3 months to wander the tank last night! It got its slimy tentacles all over my Pocillipora damicornis (spelling?) All the ends of the coral are stark white with no polyps the interior looks ok. will it grow back? should I prune off the obviously destroyed arms? or just leave it alone and flush the condy down the toilet and let the maroon clown who loves it grieve?

dont kill the condy, as much as u might want to. take him to yer lfs im sure they will take him off your hands. The clown might not make it without him tho...hard judgement call. never know..? jus my 2cents

The clown should survive/make it without the condy. I'd get rid of it. Find a local reefer or LFS to trade /sell it to.

not worried about the clown fish he will be fine. The coral is what has me concerned. The thin tissue over the skeleton is gone but polyps are still inside most /some of the branches just wondering if it will grow back or if I should prune off the obvious dead branches.
