Another coral stung this Trachyphyllia, and then the trachy continued to die after the initial injury. (8 January 2012)
Here’s another view of the damage.
Unfortunately, I don’t have good photos of the coral throughout the recovery process, but here it is, roughly a year later, on 6 January 2013. Although it looks significantly smaller than the original colony’s healthy tissue, there is a frag not shown.
This was never a fast-growing coral for me, but here it is on 16 June 2016, over four years later.
With just a year and proper care, the coral went from dying to thriving.
