Rescue Corals (1 Viewer)

Here is a scolymia I picked up last night to try and save it. Here is its first feeding, I dropped some food pellets near the mouth, and slowy it opened up and had it tucked away in 20 minutes. Hopefully this one makes it, I will post up another successful rescue later.

Anyone here with rescue stories or pictures?

It has been almost a month since I picked up this poor scoly and it has made a nice recovery. I have been feeding it about twice a week and have trimmed down some high/sharp septa on the skeleton. The scoly is healing up and tissue has started to grow and close around the missing section near the mouth.
