Unhappy War between RBTA and torch!

OK so last night I was admiring my tank and telling my friend how for the first time since I've set it up (about 3 years ago) I was perfectly happy with my tank.

Well, those words shoudl have NEVER come out of my mouth.

I woke up this morning to find my prized torched knocked over somehow and FACE DOWN on my prized RBTA. The RBTA that had been opening HUGE and happy in the same spot for a few months now.

So I picked it up and one of the branches of my torch is pretty much completely fried. All the tips are just mangled.

Then of course my RBTA has been closed up all day and is now moving and hiding behind the rocks.

Is there anything I can or should do in this situation? Or just leave them be and go from there?
