damaged lps

I'd leave it alone. The damage isn't that bad. I'd just gently turkey baste it once a day to remove any dead flesh/sand.

Say what??? From that little spot? The little spot on the front that's like 1/2"?? Did I miss something??? That's really surprising.

literally overnight . I took that pic lastnight . I will snap a quick pick

and keep in mind it was a couple days it had just a tiny bit of flesh reduction with nothing left on it from the lobo fight , and then overnight its basically disintegrated . Have it isolated should I take it out at this point ? Don't want any of the dying coral do any damage

That's not coming back buddy sorry to say it , like I mentioned in the text they usually heal well as long as theirs no mouth damage , I'm actually surprised it went overnight the pic didn't make it seem that bad ..... is it possible something irritated it overnight (shrimps , crabs , asterinas etc)

Sucks dude

Sorry for your loss. Any chance we can see pics of your brain looks very nice.

If I were you after removing all the dead flesh that you find a shady place in your tank to let it sit for a while (maybe 2 months) I had an LPS recover from certain death once, from 100% skeleton to full recovery in about 6 months or less. Seriously thought it was dead but there must have been something inside the skeleton in the mouth area that was still alive.
Maybe a light iodine/tank water dip before forgetting about it?

Sorry to see this happen

And what Ryan said ^^^ that brain in the background looks noiiice
