I dont know if your thinking its aptasia or not, but if you are, my guess is its not.

adam,

are we to look at the coral in the middle or the right side of the pic.

i do not see anything aptasia (yes I said it) related in the pic.

maybe post another pic?

 

[Adam29c]

Sorry. Its the small white glob in the middle of the pic. Its a small mass that has the start of 4 bubble like things.

Looks like the start of a bubble coral to me.

I agree with everyone. Your bubble coral is coming back. Good for you.

 

[pandora32]

Hopefully its not to late.

Its back in. I got the liverock from a guy on craigslist and he never mentioned anything about a bubble coral. Ive had this up and running from him for a week. I thought the same thing but assumed the worst. It was a rookie maneuver. I hope to see something positive in the morning.
Thanks for the help & I hope to post another pic....

Any advice on how yo rehab this little guy?

Just do what you were doing. Regular water changes to keep your water parameters good and it will continue to grow. You were doing the right thing to start with to have it start to come back.

keep us posted on its progress. It will be cool to watch it grow.

Will do. Thanks for all the help!
