Hi guys,

My seriatopora hysterix got stung by my RBTA. Should I break off the damaged tips or is there a chance they will recover?

Also have only one BTA in the tank :/ Found its spot rather quickly. I provided quite some space in between, but I didn’t see the tentacles touched the coral behind my rocks.
