Coral reskinning after shedding?

[Drvillen]

I put a brain coral in my Biocube a few months ago and it got attacked by my hermits. They all jumped on it and the coral "shed" its soft tissue (I know there is a term for this just can't remember it). All that was left was the skeleton, I have watched it closely and the little "mouth" was still opening and closing so I have been using Zooplex every three or four days. I am curious if anyone knows what is growing on it. Very soft looking almost opaque and there is also some green on the back starting. Any help would be great!! Sorry there are only 2 ok shots, iPhone is not a great camera for this.

I can't see the mouth in your pictures. It looks dead to me. :(

Where did the tissue go? I have one as well and it has never done anything like that. It does look dead. Keep us posted.

Might be algae growing over the skeleton. What color was it before the hermit crap beat down occurred. Also, how did you acclimate it?

The mouth opens and closes still, it is behind the new growth, the colour before was red blue and green. When it let the soft part of its body go it was just like when an anemone takes a dump, it all just streamed away. it was in an area of low water flow and still is..
Thank you so far for your help!!

If the mouth is still visible then there is a smidgeon of hope. I'd leave it there and continue to feed it.

It does not look like algae, it is growing from the skeleton right by the mouth.

I just posted again with some different pictures, tell me what you think, and thank you for your help!
