bad move

[fishphan]

I was rearranging my rocks this weeekend to make room for some new pieces and a rock feel onto my hammer. It closed up immediately and has not opened for 2 days. Will it survive?

Did you cause any damage to the base surrounding the polyps? Are the polyps recessed in the skeleton or just not coming out much? Without a visual aid I would guess they should be fine

[fishphan]

No damage to the skeleton or base. The polyps are recessed into the skeleton.

[justahobby]

A healthy one should be fine.

[fishphan]

Great! I will keep a close eye on it.

I've found a Lugols dip works wonders when they get hit.
