Any suggestions?

It looks like rtn - rapid tissue necrosis. Its unknown exactly what causes it, but generally some change in water chemistry will do it, I've had it happen to my acro's when the alk shifts suddenly.

It looks like it will be gone by tomorrow, I would try to find a healthy branch and frag it off and hope for the best. Thats too bad it looked like it was a nice frag. Good luck

RTN can spread throughout the tank, right? I’m getting it out of there. Alk has been stable for a long time.
