    I rescued a brain out of my friends tank and im trying to get it back to health. I cant exactly tell you the params right now but what would be my best option...do i need to dremel the dead part off or just leave it? It kind of looks like it's dying more and more every day but not real sure. I do however see it feeding when I stir up the stuff out of the rocks.

    just let it be and make sure you have the proper params, target feed if it will...I have seen them come back...its a coin toss. good luck

    I agree with lilly's grandad. Cyclopeeze would be good to try. Just turn off the flow so it can settle on the polyps.

    Yup given proper care and feeding and time they can grow and cover the skeleton.
