This morning I found my elegance had moved (I’m assuming flow caught it) and it was laying against my lobo. Looks like a lot of dead tissue on the elegance.

Will dipping in Revive help? I’ve heard it can help with the dead tissue and restoration but I don’t want to stress it any further if I can avoid it.

Tips/recommendations?
 
Don't dip at this stage. The damage is done but not irreversible. Pics can help! but if it were me take the elegance to an area where it can get comfortable and away from anything that would irritate it. If it were me I might give it a few days where the light isn't too intense, less light has always helped me destress a coral.
 
I know it sucks. I usually find that if the colony was healthy before the incident, they usually recover reasonably well.

The elegance has been in excellent shape and health since I got it about 5 months ago. The lobo looks completely unharmed.

Here is a picture. As you can see the center looks pretty rough. The outer edges look like they’re actually opening a bit. It’s certainly far away from anything else and being in the corner it’s in a lower intensity light.

It kind of looks like it's just closed up? I don't see any obvious exposed skeleton, or am I missing something?

The elegance is very aggressive. I'm surprised the lobo took no damage.

There isn’t any exposed skeleton, but there is a lot of fuzzy, brown flesh in the middle that would normally be its polyps.

Yeah, the lobo looks like nothing ever happened.
