Candy cane need help

I had a ATO malfunction 2 days ago and the salinity of the tank dropped off to 1.020ppm, I eventually bought back the salinity to 1.025 ppm, but after the incident my candicane looks like this, attached photos for reference. Need urgent help to recover the candy cane

Hard to tell from pictures but it looks like you might have brown jelly disease. If it is, I would frag the healthy heads and trash the the rotten ones.

Its not a huge change in salinity, I would be surprised if this is the only stress to the coral causing this. Do you have other corals in your tank, how are they? More details about your tank, and pictures in white light will help us more.

I have few zoa's, GSP and a Gonipora, they seems to be doing fine

IMO if other corals are doing fine, then it might be that the coral does not like its position, sometimes just moving it to a different spot in the tank can help.

Without more details on the tank its difficult to offer better suggestions.
