To me it looks like the toadstool might be fighting with it. Not sure who wins in that battle, but from the Pic I'd say toadstool.

Definitely likely, that'd be my guess. Separate them and see if it gets better/stops getting worse

they both are about 1.5 inches apart

do you guys think that's not enough ?

Did you move them? If so, that may be far enough for now, until they find each other through growth again.

You would be surprised at how long feeler tenticals can get.....some like the pectina coral can get over 3". Toadstools can reach pretty far as well so I'd move a bit more if there is the room

I don't think toadstools sting other corals, rather they use chemical warefare to stunt growth. I would guess lack of light on the underside and maybe a nutrient deficiency or alk swing could have caused this. What are those tube just above the toadstool? could those be hydroids or something?
