Well, sometimes we underestimate the strength and durabeiility of corals.
Keep in mind that on some reefs during low tide coral are exposed to nothing but air for a long period of time.

Once I helped a friend moving his corals to a new tank, the new tank was located 6 hours away by driving. He had there some huge monti's and acro's the biggest monti was 60 cm diameter, the biggest stag was 56 cm high!!!
We had no choice but delivering them in big garbage bags with out any water (only some for humidity). Guess what….zero fatalities!

I put my finger on destruction of bacteria colonies and death of small critters in the LR, causing sharp rise in ammonia.

The best way to deal with that problem imo would be water changes and using some good quality bacteria supplements…. Beside that keep in low on feeding and calibrate your skimmer for wet foaming (skimming)

Good luck ( If it didn’t kill you it will strengthen you)
