Default 911 for Bubble Coral

We have a beautiful Bubble coral that a stupid turbo snail knocked over. It landed on the strainer part of the powerhead. Now the strained is stick on the coral. It is all opened today but we are worried that it will die. The flesh is trying to bubble in and trough the stainer thing. Any ideas ?

Is that picture supposed to show the strainer? I don't see it if it does. That said I would think you could irritate the coral by touching it so that it retracted enough to get the strainer off of it. (Tickle it a little, you may have to do it on a number of bubbles)

If we manage to get it off by "tickling it" how to we prevent disease and bacteria from killing it?

I don't think I would worry a lot about that it the strainer has not really injured the coral. A picture of the strainer on the bubble might help.

We got it off and bubble looks ok. We are just worried we may have damaged some off the tissue. It was stuck pretty good in the small little cap on the powerhead. Hopefully it will be ok, it is by far the nicest thing in our tank
