    hello,

    One of my finger coral (dun know if this is the right name, anyway it looks very much like a human palm) was stung by a anemone. The particular finger now looks crumbled as compared to the others of the same branch.

    Should I leave it alone or should I amputate the finger ?

    Any advice please.

    Hi,

    "Ka-cha" the damaged finger already. Still looks good. Anything I should do to wounds ? Like bandage, kekeke.

    thanks for advice.

    If you have iodine supplements, increase application a little, since iodine may help in its recovery. Also try to keep water parameters good, to prevent infection. Good luck!

    Hi Tigger,

    Not too difficult though. I believe it's somehow related to leather coral. It's just my anemone, klkk. So gotta be alert to shift my "finger coral" too. Guess it will not last too long as my biz trip is coming up.
