Can I save this?

[mtnrunner]

This coral is about 3" across. I've had it about 3 months and it has slowly dwindled away.

90 gal mixed reef
MH/blue actinic
spec gravity 1.025
Alk 9dkh
Cal 420
temp 76
pH 7.9

All other corals and fish are fine. Have I not fed it directly enough?

Any suggestions on how I can save it? It isn't reacting to food if I place it on it now.

Thanks

I am going to say it is past being able to be saved, unfortunately. It looks as if it's mouth is gone.

Hate to say it but probably not.

I would remove it from tank.

They have been known to pop off babies... So keep it somewhere and who knows...

Pretty much everyone knows more than me when it come's to corals what I do know is this though. If it was a Plate Coral, no way I take it out of the tank. I have a friend that had a plate coral die in her tank, she left it in the tank for months, then one day it started popping out babies, lots of babies. I don't know why, but she ended up letting a bunch of zoas grow over the plate and that was the end of the babies.

I doubt that leaving it in your tank will cause any adverse issues. Leave it and see if you get lucky.

I can't see where it will do any harm, its looks to have pretty much melted away already. I would move it to a low flow area of the tank, to maybe help with any babies that it may pop out.
