acanthophyllia bad shape

[epicfatigue]

Hey guys picked this up because it was dying from neglect at the LFS and I wanted to try and save it.

I dipped it and scrubbed alot of the algae, then gave it an iodine bath and killed most of the aptasia on it. IV placed it in the bottom of the tank in a very low flow area.

Its been in the tank only 12 hours and I gave a a very light feed got a minor feeding response. Wondering what would be the best course of action to try and save this beautiful coral. I know it might be to late but I wanted to try.

My water parameters are good I run the moonshiners program. Nitrate 12 phosphate 0.02 alk 7.4 calcium 440

Oh wow, I can't imagine what it even looked like when you bought it!

If it were me, I would put it in a low flow and lower light level in the tank and leave it alone for a while.

Not sure on the feeding, but I would probably err on the side of feeding less.

Looked similar just covered in aptasia and bobble algae. Just hope it makes it.
