I would frag it and try to save the good sides, dip the rest on Revive.

Did it get stung by another coral? Did that happen gradually or all of a sudden? Almost to a coral the favias I have get better color and thrive placed low in my tank. Could it have been getting too much light? I do second a Revive treatment though. That works well for me. Good luck.

same thing i would do, cut losses and move on, before RTN spreads and kills the rest anyways.

His alk dropped to 2 dKH.

I am going through the same thing with some of my corals. STN due to alk dropping to 7 and ph at 8.0 temp went up to 82* Lost a lot of SPS (8-9 frags/colonies) and 1 Trachy and am now loosing a maze brain. Frag what you can, make sure you cut in to the good flesh and dip it. If you leave even a little of the STN, you will probably end up loosing the whole frag.
