Looks very bleached. Not sure if there is much you can do other than keep it in low light and low flow and see if it bounces back. You can try feeding it with reef roids or something similar, but be careful how much you feed as to not spike nutrients.

Low light and low flow. Impossible to know why its bleached, but blasting it with light wont help any.

It looks like it is dead and looks like there is no flesh there only the skeleton

There isn't any exposed skeleton from what I can see, so there is still a fighting chance. At this point I wouldn't even bother feeding. Move to a low light/ low flow area in the tank and let it chill for a while. After it shows signs of recovery then maybe start to feed. Until then I wouldn't do it.

What kind of coral is that supposed to be? It looks like a leather from the pic. If that is the case, just low light and let it be.

If it is an sps, it is bleached, but if there is still flesh move it to a low light area and increase nutrients.
