I'm having an issue with tissue necrosis on a platygyra and a micromussa. Both got burned when I moved them up off the sand just a little after acclimating them for about a month. I moved them to the shadows after about a week once I noticed the burn. It has been a month or so since then. After the initial die off of the burned area the micro has not improved, maybe it has gotten a little worse. The platy has continued to decline. Is there something I can do to improve their health? I feed LRS every other day and phytoplankton about 5 times a week. I have an IM10 with a wavepoint light. The acan, lepastrea, lepto and clam that are in there are thriving. Parameters are steady (1.026, ph of 8.1, 450 cal, 8 dkh, 0 po4, 10-20 no3). This is not where they live. I moved them while cleaning for the picture.

I would just leave them in very low light, stop moving them for cleaning and let them recover. The less you mess with them the better off they will be. Low or moderate flow.

They don't probably need target feeding right now.
