Yes they are able to heal, and yes they could get an
infection. The healthier it is, the better the chance of
not getting an infection.

If it gets an infection, get an ear wax removal bulb, and
blow off the infected area. Don't blow too hard, as you
don't want to force the rotting tissue deep into the coral
skeleton, but you want to blow it off.

Just had my order filled. it looks nice but there seems to be some receding
of the tissue mat around the end of the skeleton and a bit of
transport/bagging damage to some of the polyps :-( does anyone know how well
these heal and if there is any likely problem with infection?

Thanks

Hello there people! I was just wondering apart from the usual
calcium/alkalinity needed to keep these are there any special needs for
them, I am getting one delivered next week and would like to know in
advance if i need to stock up on anything?

Thanks in advance
