    This what the rest of the Coral looks like Lillys Grandad, With the growth it has had in the last 28 days, I always thought it was happy with the location, I just hope it stops or I will be forced to cut :( should have used epoxy, I think.

    I don't know that the super glue will harm your coral, I've just seen it spread like that before on other surfaces. If it is the glue, it probably won't spread any further. I think it has something to do with the fuming properties of the cyanoacrylate before it cures, that's how they are able to use it to fix fingerprints.

    That is not glue, it's tissue loss.

    Tissue issues? hard to understand that when the rest of the Coral looks has healthy as it does, but I guess possible.

    Looks great lillys Grandad, polyps are all extended, no sign of stress what so ever, does not look like the burn has gone any further, the same with the other Coral, if not for the burn at the base you would never know something was wrong. I'll post a pic of that other Coral.

    I'll have one for us both a cold one or two sounds good. I am more concerned about the 2nd one, you can see at the base where it is glue burned that its starting to turn black, the other isen't doing this.
