Some tissue blew off in the current and when I used the pippete on it....

Is there anything I can do to help it along ???

I think I'm going to have scallop for dinner,,, just one...

I've found that birdsnest are quite forgiving to this type of damage. They tend to be quite brittle so I expect in nature that they are constantly being broken. Certainly in my tank all my birdsnest get frequently fragged by my large tangs breezing by them (or crashing into them maybe, I dunno).
