Just keep an eye on yours. If you get brown algae growth on the tips then its stn.
Looks like growth to me.

I would add new growth typically shows polyps before full coloration. OP pics look like erosion of existing flesh. I would re-look at the PAR values. 170 is pretty low light reading. Is that the same lighting it was in the seller’s tank?

Never a dull moment in keeping a reef tank.
Nobody mislead the op everyone just giving thoughts on what it could be and the folks who said growth seem to have a lot of experience with sps… do you grow a lot of sps?

Being that your seasoned in stn literally in reverse I'm all ears. Like previously mentioned, usually it's those who walk the line low with screaming alk who encounter true burnt tips. The OP has low light, mid alk, and plenty of nutrients all of which would not cause what you claim but in most cases the opposite.
The tips on this usually shoot bleach white then over the coarse of a week turn blue then pick before it repeats. I'm starting to wonder how I got suckered into this abortion.

I'll take your beer and raise you a bottle of crown that when he kills it it'll be from the bottom up.
Probably a good chance the new growth displayed occurred previous to his ownership.

I hope there’s an update. This picture. Zoomed in at the tips, appears to show a film spread across the white tipsI'll take your beer and raise you a bottle of crown that when he kills it it'll be from the bottom up.
