Help with candy cane coral

[jorge0912]

My candy cane coral looks brown from certain parts of its head had it on the verry top of the tank it has always done well there I till recently is it getting to much light
Is it stressed
Or is it brown jelly developing
The dark spots is what I am concerned about :(

It looks like an irritation to the flesh, possibly from moving it or it fell over in the sand? Why did you think it was getting to much light? IME calaustrea was a very tolerable coral of light intensity. I'd keep it midtank with low to moderate indirect flow. If you notice tissue recession then you can try dipping it in an iodine based dip.

It did fell of the frag plug :/
To the side of the i need to buy some super glue
And no I was just thinking to much light because last night the glue gel and I found it like that and I thought it was stress due to light since it was so close the the surface but I always noticed it open and big
I’ll put it back where it was and see if it recovers from that

I have mine toward the top. They can tolerate some light. Mine will look like that if i bump it with a toothbrush when im cleaning. It will take a couple of days to go back to normal.
