Help why is my strawberry acro look like its dying

[Damian reef boi]

I woke up this morning and it had fallen and the tip was in the sand will it be fine or what do I do

Pls help

If it was buried under the sand the tip is probably dead. It should be fine and grow over that deadness

Looks like some STN from the tip being in the sand. Also browned out due to stress or water parameters. The quickest way to recovery is good water parameters, good lighting( higher blue spectrum for healing) and good water flow. That being said, what’s your water parameters and system hardware?

I will tell you the water parameters when I get home (I am currently in school looking for solutions lol) but I have 2 ai primes hd 16 and the acro is as high as I could put it and it was doing really good it was even encrusting and it is also getting allot of indirect flow

That was before it had fallen

I just hope it is not rtn or stn

Well that picture looked like it was happy and was coloring up which answers lighting flow and water parameters. I would chalk this up to being stressed from falling. Leave it as is, no hands in tank ,no snipping the dead tip. Just keep it happy till it recovers. The STN shouldn’t go any further.....let us know how it fares in a few weeks
