What's wrong with my coral :-(

[martian55]

Hi to all Shifus and seniors, I had an octopus coral which fell from its placed position and two heads got a got squashed for a couple of hours. After rescuing it, I noticed there was a purplish 'blister' wrapped around these heads. Can I ask if they are dying? Tentacles doesn"t seem to come out ever since (one day so far). Thanks in advance for the advice.

Looks like the infamous brown jelly. Its dying. Cut the head off so that it will not affect nearby healthy heads.

You can also try iodine dip! Worked really well when my coral had it, recovered within a week though mine wasn't as bad as yours.

Thanks to all shifus and seniors. Had cut off the affected one and isolated the rest for iodine dip but still lost 4 of the 5 remaining heads. Guess the bjd came too fast and furious. Happy New Year bros!
