What was it like before this? Doesn't look lile this would happen in a day. Where in the tank was it sitting?
 
No3 is 5
I Dont have any phosphate tests and am leaving for 5 days tomorrow
 
There would have to be something else Nitrate of 5 is good and even high of Po4 wouldn't do this. How are the other corals in the tank?
 
Eveything else looks fine scollys and acans nice and fat. Ive been feedng reef roids and lps pellets
 
Looks like my red goni is starting to look a little stressed too. i just put a new pink next to the red and green. Is it possible that the pink stung the others?
 
Had similar issues that looked just like that, this is what I did; with a very soft (baby) toothbrush clean the surface brushing gently in one direction to avoid more damage, dip in Seachem Reef Dip, assuming everything else is ok; flow, lighting, etc. then check your Iodine. If using a Red Sea test keep levels at .06-.09. I dosed Seachem Iodide. The first picture was on 2/20/2020, the last 2 just now to show the progress. Hope it helps.

This happened the night before i was leaving for 5 days away so I couldn't risk leaving the green in the tank. unfortunately I had to throw it out... Such a shame it was a nice big colony.
I moved the red before I left and crossed my fingers, returned last night and it seems to be doing well.
Thanks for the replies, i think the pink goni was the culprit.
