Dying Homophyllia Bowerbanki Coral

This dying coral (Homophyllia bowerbanki) was found injured at a local fish store on 10 February 2013. A fish had been nipping at it, which made diagnosis easy. This was a low risk rescue for me, and Homophyllia bowerbanki is my favorite species of coral – a win!

By 31 March 2013, the coral was recovering nicely.

The coral recovered after four months (15 June 2013).

As the coral flourished, so did its colors (2 November 2013). Never did I expect a stunner like this!!
