It regrows....They say it won’t repair...but it will. It was an anchor....not an atomic bomb...
I had a piece of frogspawn coral that bleached and died after hurricane Ike crashed my aquarium. A buddy placed the fragment in his lighted aquarium sump, where it miraculously began to regrow.
It spent a week in the crashed aquarium, which was like a bait bucket on a hot summer day. Less than two years later, its revived and going gangbusters.
I've seen a lot of coral appear to come back from the dead, in tanks that would make decent mass-extinction simulators. While lefties squeal about 'fragile' reefs, they make no mention of 'resilient' reefs.
Must have been a ‘fluke’! (heh)
