Corals can be fairly difficult when all is well, you have quite a challenge if you decide to try to save it. If the injury is not too bad, and we can’t tell from your post, maybe you and the coral get lucky. I would put some antibiotic on the wound as an aid to healing. Set it up in a typical cage with a tub of sphagnum that is thoroughly wet at all times, and a water bowl too. Spray the sphagnum every day or two to keep wet. It will probably settle in and you won’t see it until you dig it out and check up on it. If it survives a week, I’d offer a small snake or frog. If you fuss over it every day you’ll kill it. It will probably heal on it’s own or die. It will probably go through a couple of quick shed cycles- that could mean it is trying to get better. Good luck.
