Octobubble Trouble with Video

Nate,

I'm afraid of handling it too much to do the elastic for fear of damaging it further.

How long did it take for yours to fall off on its own? It's been about three weeks since I noticed it, and I think by leaving it on, it is only tearing away more tissue from the base.

I've fragged all kinds of soft and sps corals by either breaking them off, cutting them with scissors, by cutting them with my fingers or finger nails, or fragging by accident with no lasting ill effects. Of course, lps corals are different than sps or softies, but I wonder how much more damage they would suffer if they were cut like, say, a xenia stalk?
