alkalinity shock -what to do?

[Europhyllia]

Oops. Sorry. That's not the cure for alkalinity shock. That's the one for alien attacks.

That's good to know Jack. As always very helpful! I'll be sure to file that away for later use when the need arises!

Let's rephrase the question.
Totally ignore any other info.
Just assume there is a little acro mini colony that has burned tips but seems otherwise okay. Color good. Polyps out, etc.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH THE TIPS? snip them off or leave them on? can they regenerate or are they dead for good?
