Please see pics attached to get an idea of its progress since I bought it on day 1.

I'm dosing my tank H2O2 could it be because of that? It was near my gyre at the beginning and saw small bits of it around that tank, do they need low flow?
 
Left half still opens fine.

if you saw bits of it floating around, definitely lower your flow. It was probably getting ripped off by the gyre. Also this looks like a wall frog. Generally wall euphyllia are harder to keep
 
Do I need to cut the exposed skeleton? I smelled and the exposed area smells rotten.
 
Frogspawn need very low flow in my opinion. I mean you need enough so that they sway a bit and they can get rid of waste and stuff but not much more than that. Should never see heavy flow like you see sometimes with torches where it has them jerking back and forth pretty hard. Little bits of the tentacles falling off in my experience is not all that unusual when they are being handled especially after shipping, but the chunk yours shows to be missing is not a good sign. The smell is also not a good sign at all and points to some infection is likely. I have been having success with apparent wall frogspawn and hammer issues the last several months using Kanaplex and keeping them in a "dip" for three days. A common suggestion is an iodine dip (which in the past was always my goto, but never really felt like it made things better for coral already in poor health).
 
Assuming it was due to high flow and it's recovering, it will grow over the white skeleton again or not?
 
The other side is fluffy and opens as it should be. All my other corals are doing well too. I'm hoping this is due to placing it near the gyre pump.

Will see if it keeps further receding or not over the next few days.
