bubble coral question

[Chris L]

about a month ago i was in seaworld pet and someone had broke down there tank and brought it all into the store. in with the rock was a bubble about the size of a dime on a skeleton about 3" round. i decided to buy it at rock price which only cost me about 2 dollars. well it has done great and has at least tripled in size but my question is how will the skeleton regrow? it is only attached by a small section. should i break the rest of the old sleleton off or will it regrow over it? any help would be appreciated.

thanks chris

Looks like its coming along great. I would guess new growth would form over the top of the old skeleton but not sure.

I bought a sick one and much of the bone was showing. most of the regrowth has covered this exposed area.
