Wow ok, need some help very quickly. My gorgeous purple favites brain coral is rapid tissue necrosing. It was stung by a mushroom that uprooted itself and landed on it. A couple days ago a few polyps were clearly dead but nothing looked really like it was spreading. Last night, I thought I might have seen a couple more polyps dead, but I wasn't sure. The dead polyps had developed a strange milky brown cover to them which I figured was it's equivalent of a scab. But now this morning, fully 1/3 if not 1/2 of the coral looks like its rotting away. They're covered in mucous which is milky white/brown. Under the mucous you can see some little white flakey things that appears to be being expelled by the coral. They're clearly not worms or nudis as they dont move. Underneath the mucous, it looks like the polyps are still there, but I dont know for how long.
What should I do? Are all the polyps in the mucous layer going to die? Should I frag it? And if so, what kind of tool should I use to cut such a big stony coral? I've never tried fragging anything before, but I'm experienced enough with tools. Superglue is my friend, but thats another story
I'd really like to save this guy, so let me know what you guys think. If you want some pics, I'll come home at lunch and take them after lights on. Thanks in advance
