Recovering corals help
Every now and then when I'm at the lfs (store sucks and can't keep corals alive) I grab barely alive corals in order to save them
My question is should I be trimming the dead sections of the skeleton in order for it to spread more or will it spread overtop of the old Here are a few of the corals And also I've got a bubble that is 80% dead but recovering

I feed them mysis twice a week and they are growing but the one in the last pic (not 100% sure exactly what it is) hasn't been growing a whole lot compared to how it was growing before

I don't trim dead sections unless they start growing hairy algae on them. The algae will stop the coral from being able to grow. If that is happening I trim down to just above, or at the live tissue. If not, the I find the corals grow back faster if you can leave the old skeleton there.
