bro, I remove my injured prata and shift it to my sump tank. I only allow light flow and no feeding to it as injured prata does not feed. As u had said, when being feed, it could not deliver the food to its mouth. Even if u shove the food to its mouth, it does not devour as it normally do. Instead, the food would be left to rot and thus will effect the prata and causes more damage It takes lots of time and patience to nurse back a injured prata Lighting in the sump is also a must. Even if its jus FL light, it will do jus fine. No need to have strong light for it Jus my few cents of experience

like wat bro fishtalk said, dun feed 1st

there is a little bit flesh off at the front from ur pic

if no fish nip on it, will heal in time

i got a new prata look even worse then urs

with all bone exposed

but im very sure mine will heal

yesterday, my third and final attempt to feed it. after an hour, its still like that... food is stuck, but cant eat... its mouth open though... see it so stressed i sianz half oso.

[colinsoon]

haiz.

[Soul]

try softer food like brineshrimp

[jervismun]

Try inject liquid food... at this stage I dun think the Prata has the energy to chew those tantalizing shrimp meat

[colinsoon]

gonna just leave it as it is... i am in hostel now. hopefully when i get back home, i dun see any more damage to the prata....

[andylee]

did u trim its skeleton to remove algae?

[colinsoon]

yep... trimmed it alr.. first thing i did.. but there are some parts, insignificant, so din touch it.. the part where it receeded was the portion i trimmed the most. maybe cut some flesh off alon the way..

[colinsoon]

finally some time to upload fotos...

went back last sat evening to discover the mess my sandshifters made...

lots of corals on the SB all dislodged and all over the place...

[colinsoon]

my branching gonio totally uprooted...

[colinsoon]

prata uprooted too...

[colinsoon]

meat seems to be growing back.... i think.
