I lost power for about 14 hours from Irma last night, and ran an air pump on my 12gal through the night... got power back a few hours ago and turned tank lights on. Ricordea looks like this:

It looks like it was stung (most likely by the favia?) but Coral placement has been like that for over a month... so I'm not sure exactly what the cause was. Is there no hope for it? This was yesterday:

I can't really tell what it looks like but I'd just give it time. Corals can be pretty tough, maybe just move it over some if you think it's been stung and needs time to heal.
 
I have a Ricordea that was knocked over one night onto a peppermint coral. When I pulled them apart it felt as if they had fused together. Both had receded from the contact. Both recovered in about two weeks. Shortly after that the Ricordea decided it didn't like the spot it was in and moved. I now have two.
