This is the only coral in the tank that isn't happy and it turned within days. I noticed a darker color around the bottom of the plate the other day but nothing around the mouth until this morning. I moved it off the sand bed and onto a rock in case the sand was causing it. Tried feeding it this morning but didn't eat
 
Leave the dead skeleton in the tank. Plate corals are known to die off and reproduce new baby plates from the old skeleton.
 
It isn't dead yet

It could be your water or too much light or acclimation method. If the flesh around the mouth is gone. It doesn't look good for the coral.
