RTN in deep water acro? Or just other tissue damage

[sandra6500]

Tonight I noticed that this coral was had lost all the tissue on one of the lower branches. Went to dinner with a friend and when I came home noticed that a lot more tissue was dangling from the coral- all in the same area. UGH.

Yesterday I moved him around a little and in the process did drop him. I don't remember if it fell on the side that is now experiencing the tissue loss.

My question is- is this likely to be RTN which would probably mean that I would have to immediately frag this colony to save any part of it, or could it be that it will just shed the parts which fell into my sand bed?

All my water parameters are normal for my tank, no changes. Everything else looks fine.





The pic sucks because I took it with the phone and with a flashlight.

Any ideas?

I had a small deepwater frag rtn in front of me yesterday. I had it for a few weeks but I guess the high nitrates got to it, maybe you should check yours.

Thanks but my water parameters all seem to be exactly like normal. My nitrates are undetectable. I ended up putting frag glue around the bad areas but this morning the tissue loss had spread past the glue. Its pretty rough looking and I anticipate that it might be completely gone by the time I get home :-(
