Hey all, I woke up to find my bubble tip literally right under my duncan coral.

It’s extremely unhappy and stressed and looks like flesh is peeling off where it was stung.

I moved it to this area with little light and flow Im honestly scared if it’s going to brown jelly, should I dip it?

I also understand duncan’s are quite hardy and there are no brown jelly symptoms as of yet.

sorry if the pics aren’t great, not sure what I’d show anyways…

Hold for now, see how it reacts to being stung. Some of the heads may die off but usually the whole coral won't die. Dipping may only stress it out more at this point.
