Pocillopora slowly dying

[Abzdot]

Hi,

 

around 1.5 months ago I had a “natural disaster” within my tank, a rock collapse, and my pocillopora detached from the rock and had minor damage to one of its branches. I left him be for a while because he looked okay, he still looked bushy so I thought that he’d just recover, but now he’s slowly shrivelling away, his polyps have gotten really short and I’m not to sure what to do.

This is the way they go when they go.  

 

Make sure it's getting strong flow.  Make sure you have phosphates and nitrates in the water.  Other than that, keep your fingers crossed...they don't usually make it once this starts, but there are exceptions.
