The question I have is now that I have this compromised specimen, what is the best way to attach it to some live rock? I have some reef-safe epoxy – would that harm the sponge?
>>I don’t think so, you could use that or cyanoacrylate (superglue) on a small portion. If you’re still not positive or comfortable, you could try some fine monofilament (fishing line) and mechanically affix the specimen. >Right now it is sitting with its base gently wedged between two rocks, but this is not a viable long-term placement. Also, after 24 hours the opercula have opened and some of the white patches seem to have disappeared. Does this mean the sponge is looking up, or is it just false hope? >>Can’t say for sure without actually seeing the damage and then this occurrence firsthand, but if it appears healthier, then I would not give up hope.
