OK, so I just bought a new 2 head frag of hammer coral. I dipped it, acclimated it and added it to the tank. Within 15 minutes it was nice and fully opened, looked great. A few hours later, I see one of my 3 peppermint shrimp tearing the hell out of one of the heads, pieces flying away and it definitely eating the tentacles.
He got a little of the other head but not near as much. So I removed all 3 peppermint shrimp, put 2 in the fuge, and the one I caught tearing it up ticked me off and became food for my puffer fish. Is there any chance this hammer coral can recover? There is still a little flesh left In the one head but looks like mostly skeleton, the other head didn't lose too many tentacles but definitely retracted after being attacked.
