Brown spot on acro

[GHOSTLY]

I had a power outage in my room and my tank was off for more than 6h. I had a bacterial bloom, an acro fully rtn, and fish gasping for air. Ive since been able to fix it but noticed my pink tequila acro develop a brown spot. Its also had dye off on the back side. I suspected rtn stn but I can't identify it. There's so a little white spot at the base near the front which ive had issues identifying. Nothing major has happened but im just wondering if its maybe worth superglueing over

On your tank thread you posted you glued an area of stn previously, how did that work out?
Pink Acro looks more bleached than actually loosing tissue?
Please follow up with results if you glue the spot.

Probably around 70% of the superglhing works. Sometimes it spreads more and you glue over and jt stops. Ive had quite a few rtn pieces but majority came back (hardest are wilds)

Its looking normal but I have noticed white patches similar to bleaching but also no major color changes. It hadn't lost tissue but the right side dead spot is new. A hermit crab spends 24/7 there for some reason. Everytime i knock it down or relocate it he climbs back up. Its really odd and no ones been able to explain it but it caused that dead spot

Ill update again tomororw

I believe hermits follow pheromone trails, they must.
I have had multiple hermits that would migrate to the tips of the same Acropora every afternoon.
I have tried the crazy glue intervention, it never seemed to make a difference, thats why I am curious.

This morning hes back up at that dead spot. Its been months now and I keep knocking him down. The acros alive today but theres still that dark spot like theres dinos growing on it even though the tissues alive. Will send a photo soon

Patch is still here and the crabs back. Really confused on why he chills there still

What are nutrient levels in the tank currently? Any different from historic levels?

Nope even through my power outage none of parameters changed which is why I find it weird.
Alk 7
Nitrate 5
Phos .3 (been like this for a bit and coming down)
I doubt the crabs eating it but is it worth ruling out? He kinda just sits in the one spot

If the hermit really wanted to eat it I doubt we'd have to do much wondering about it like this, ya know?

It would be like...

I admit it's still peculiar behavior, but who can really understand the motivations of a hermit crab? ;)
