This Plerogyra (“bubble coral”) was significantly damaged on 14 July 2012. The damage was so new that the tissue was still attached.
Although the coral looks worse here (15 August 2012), the damage was stopped.
By 7 October 2012, the coral was mostly recovered and growing again.
Here, the coral is completely recovered and beautiful! (21 October 2012)
Only three months went by between when this Plerogyra (“bubble coral”) was damaged and fully recovered.
