    as you can see there was hardly any tissue left, but look at it now, absolutely amazing what corals can go through and still suvive.

    i would try some live brine or myscis. if you can see feeder tentacles or a mouth during feedings its a very good sign, most importantly watch your fishes behavior, make sure they dont show much interest in him and he should have a chance.

    I wouldnt put it in a bowl. The less you can handle/stress it the better. Just target feed it with a turkey baster or syringe

    would it be beneficial for him to try to saw down the frag so that only the living area is left?
