SPS Damage

[robscool]

Hi all-
Maybe you can help. I have a very healthy frag of birdsnest sps that I thought has some algae growing on the tips. Stupidly, I decided to blast the tips with a turkey baster. Immediately the polyps recessed and the tips of the frag turned white. After an hour or so, the polyps are starting to come out a little, but the tips are still white.
Did I ruin the piece? Do I cut off the tips that were affected or give it some time?
Stupid move, I def learned a lesson.

dont blame yourself. the coral was receding already. the algae probably choke it out.

Thanks guys. I will give it some time to heal. Hoping it won't die off, but the rest of the piece seems to be strong and unaffected. I won't clip the tips yet.
