Well I seem to have lost the small half of the colt to the back of the tank..... Its where I cant reach it. I have the biger half stuck in the whole of a rock hoping it will grab hold...

Question is can that other one in back cause any harm so say if it doesnt make it? Im going to try and fish it out but I dont wanna move much rock and probably will have to get it. Can i just leave it? If doesnt make it will it harm anything?

Sorry Just want to know if i ned to fish the slimey little thing out... Just hope this other piece grabs hold soon.. Sigh.....

As small as that was, I don't think it would hurt if it dies, but you might end up a colt running around in the back of your tank.

I just picked up some plastic mesh that you can have. You can find it in the supermarket, it is what they use to package citrus fruits. Pm me if you would like to pick it up.

You can also leave it pinched. That is how some people frag leather corals. They eventually heal and then you have two! With using a rubber band it should attach no problem and the coral will probably be fine. Probably.
