So not sure if this is a true tank emergency. But when I got home I noticed one of my fans had came off and blew sand all over my green Goniopora and cespitularia. The picture is after I did my best to get sand off the cespitularia and put it back close to its original area without harming it. But I notice some of the tips are rally skinny and brown looking. Is it dying?

They should be okay. It there's a lot of sand on them try to blow it off with a turkey baster or something similar. This happens all the time in tanks with sand burying wrasses.
