Aggreed Robert... If a coke bottle fits over it rather go that route... What you are doing now is like slitting someones wrist, letting him bleed a bit and then doing a blood transfusion on him. Then tomorrow you slit his wrist again etc. Remember that this is a LPS coral. Take any LPS like a frogspawn for example out of the water and place into a container every day and see how it fares healthwise.
Rather just bottle it, get it back to great health and then you can move it to the original spot you want it. Light really has no affect on it, it will not do worse if you have it in light - dont stress about it. Flow, food and excellent water params are now the most crucial aspect you need to focus on.
I am however pleased to hear that you are seeing a bit of life there!!! Keep up the good work!!!
LOL thats a bit mellow dramatic dont u think!
Look its not the best option, BUT...most of these corals come in on a piece of rock anyway so if he isnt touching the coral itself and the system is working and he is getting results I dont think he should mess with it.
People have had success for years with this method. Its not practical but it does work in getting a non feeding/dying coral back to health where u can start feeding it larger foods in the tank.
...what ever you can use that will encapsulate the coral in the tank so that the food will stay around it giving it time to feed before it gets blown away or eaten by your other livestock.
