What happens if you place the coral atop it's skeletal base and just leave it there in the water box?

Goner imo - u should have made it retract before you lifted or done it all under water!

It didn't fell off. It was torn out of it's skelaton by improper handling.

The only thing you can do was 1) do not remove the skeleton from water and there was a chance it will regrow a new bubble in it. 2) leave the polyp in low flow, low light and it May Eventually start growing new skeleton under it.

With hammers, this takes at least 6 months. It doesn't look good for you, unfortunately.

I tried to but it just falls off, do you have a suggestion on how to keep it on there?

The bubbles are still quite big now do you think there is any chance to reconnect it?

No. It will not reconnect to the skelaton.

If it's going to live, which is a very big if, it'll need to regrow a new skeleton which is a very long process.

This is what it looks like currently.

Yes, I see. The entire polyp is separated.

What I said above still stands. IF it's going to live, it'll have to regrow skelaton under it.

Unfortunately no, I was just thinking about mushroom corals becoming detached from their base. People put the coral and base in a small cup encouraging it to re attach itself.

We will see if it works, i will send an update soon!

Honestly.. don’t be hard on yourself. Now you know for next time.. lesson learned the hard way lol I’d throw it out before it spoils the rest of tank my firm opinion.

 

[Auto-pilot]

Not to be a party pooper but I've never seen a coral regrow a skeleton after it's separated. Not sure what does this but it's kinda crazy when it happens.
