Hey all, about a week ago my BTA was all over this acro, and I’m not sure if he stung him to death. I have a blue and white pic to show if that helps.
Thanks!!!

Some of it might recover. I gave up on BTAs for this exact reason. Tube nems and rock flower nems only. They don't tend to move around much if at all.

Not sure that is an acropora. Looks more like a monti or lepto.

I wasn’t 100% sure tbh. You’re probably right about it being a monti. I did give the BTA to a friend. Too small of a tank for that guy to be causing trouble in lol. I hope he recovers though…. His color is beautiful when he’s healthy
 
Looks rough but not completely dead yet. I’d give it a chance
Any advice on helping him recover? I moved him closer to the light and have been feeding him 3x a week this week
 
Usually the best thing is time. Leaving them be. SPS, to the best of my knowledge, generally get most of their food from light so I wouldn’t be overly concerned with direct feedings
