Hey guys I just wanted to see if anyone has any advise for me. I have never bought a acro colony before and recently bought a pink milipora colony because they are said to be a little easier. Long story short it's been in my tank for a couple of days and I notice a spot on it where STN has started tonight. I have had good luck with acropora frags
My parameters are and have stayed solidly at or around
Calc 450
Alk 140/ 8.0
Phosphates .05-.1
Mag 1350-1400
No3 is less than 1ppm
Ph8.0-8.1 during the day doesn't move much at night due to refugium and having lights on at night.
It looks like it died possibly where I touched it maybe that could have had something to do with it. It hasn't fully extended it's polyps yet.
What should I do?? Should I wait and see and not touch it anymore (current plan) or cut off the damage (don't really want to). The phosphates are a little high in my tank always battling it
Polyps are currently extended and you can see the damage in the pic
