Possible tissue necrosis on FAVIA and CANDY CANE.

[TWYOUNG]

I just added my first corals three weeks ago and have issues with my FAVIA and CANDY CANE. Can someone suggest a coarse of treatment based on the attached pics? Iodine dip, peroxide dip, don't harass it? Thank you!

Any water parameters to report?

Sounds pretty good, assuming Salinity is accurate. Calcium is on the high side for my taste. Salt brand? Also, the tank seems pretty well lit. Did you take the photos with a filter or are you typically on full spectrum daylight?

And this is not exactly tissue necrosis, the corals themselves have grown algae from spores that settled on them.

Tropic Marin Pro Reef. Pics are taken with yellow filter. I'm running three Radion XR 30 Blues at 30% max. AB+ schedule, on 12 hrs with max for 8 hrs. PAR is 100-250 throughout most of the tank at max light.

Do you have a treatment suggestion?
