Default Will my scoly make it?

I was cleaning the glass and found it face down on a one inch yuma. I fricken crab must have knocked it off sometime this morning. Will it live? Is there anything I can do for it?? HELP! DSCF1731 - Will my scoly make it?

Would you say the tissue loss is stable right now or still losing?

I have had some success dipping damaged lps in a mixture of tank water (~20 ounces) with a cap full of melafix in the past. This I believe helps ward off infection. I would say if it looks stable not to mess with it. Put it in an area of good flow.

Now that I found it flipped it over I really don't think its still losing tissue, but I just found it like 30 mins ago so time will tell I guess.

Feed it once every week and it will recover. Low flow will also help it.

Are you sure it wasn't your cat that knocked it over? I would wait a week or more to feed it.
