My brain is detached

I came home this afternoom and found by Red Open Brain (Trachphyllia) has detached from the skeleton and is laying on the crushed coral bed in back of the tank. Will it survive? It is fully expanded. Will it create a new skeleton? I have had this brain for about two years. Water parameters are all normal. TIA

Try feeding it, maybe it just felt like a change of venue If it does it eat then maybe this is just a natural process for it.

Yeah, it's detached. I pulled the skeleton out and noticed some xenia growing on the backside of it and this could possibly be the reason for the detachment. Last night, it was still expanded. I came home this evening and could not find it. Maybe it got pushed somewhere where I can't see it. I'll have to see if I can locate it.

Good luck. I hope it isnt dead, if it isnt i think it will be hard to get it to stay in place anywhere...
