Favia not looking good

[reef4life!!!]

So it's been around 6 days my favia is looking like this. It stayed like that after I tryed to feed it with a pippete some reef snow(brightwell). The favia is around 2 months old in the tank. Perhaps I damaged the coral?

Some reef foods tend to be super acidic. I cant speak to the food you're using but its not always best to spot feed IMO

Possibly, I'd just leave it alone for a bit and let it get back to normal

You are good, just don't poke it too much. They grow better when left undisturbed like any other coral.
