Default Torch Coral busted for attempted Homicide!

I was feeding the reef today, everyone looks happy...busily savaging the food I added. All of a sudden the gold Torch Coral grabs the Jawfish! Jawfish is stuck on, suddenly motionless, and not breathing. Sh**, f***, d***!!!! So I use turkey baster to get Jawfish off the Torch. Jawfish floats around tank motionless. I reach in to grab Jawfish and find he's wiggling a bit. I go get a specimen container, and put Jawfish in there. He is breathing one big GASP every 10-15 seconds. He's a goner for sure. I turn off the tank lights to help him calm down. As I watch, the gasps are getting closer together. Eventually he is gasping heavily and is start to flick around a bit in the container. Then he starts swimming around wanting out. So I let him out. He's now swimming around the tank looking stressed as hell, and can't seem to find his burrow. I hope he gets his fried brain sorted out, and is ok. Nothing like seeing nature in action!! Very cool, but sad for the little guy.
