Red planet STN? Help

dcw1sfu · 09/09/2014, 03:29 PM

So after getting back from Hollidays I noticed my red planet had STN however nothing else in the tank looked to have any problems. All parameters are perfect as well. Last night I then was looking in my tank after lights out with a flashlight and noticed my maze corals reacher tentacles were enormous possibly 6" or longer on some of them. And a couple were at times brushing across my red planet. I've since moved the maze coral now is there anything I can do for the red planet? Here's a not so great pic.

Doesn't look so hot. Is it brown?

If it got stung and there's no continued RTN visibly happening then just leave it alone.

+1 let it be. If it was healthy it might heal on its own.

Yeh it hasn't receded since I moved the maze and everywhere else looks great in terms of color

Corals are territorial and you've just witnessed a good example of that. You did the right thing by putting space between the two corals. Now leave the RP alone and it'll be fine provided you've got stable Alk.
