Try to dip it in coral RX. Move to low flow an low light. I wouldn't frag it.
Under a rock ledge to block light. And low flow will help. It may be too far gone but there may be a chance. Don't feed it.

I agree low flow and low light! While it's advisable to frag a lot of different corals, this is not one of them.

i had it for only 4days, the color got better since i got it. I dip it in Seachem Reef Dip for 10min.
if you dipped it four days ago it should be safe to dip again. I always use CoralRX and it works wonders. I recently saved an acanthophyllia with it.
What did it look like when you got it? In regards to its mouth and tissue.

thank you guys! =) there were a somewhat clear bubble on the other side but now it got some red/pink color back. everything else kinda the same
yeah go ahead and dip it. CoralRX per the directions and low light low flow. Don't feed until you notice it start to get puffy. I would then take it out of the tank and feed it in a tupperware container with tank water. this way it will be able to do what it needs. Dip in coralRX every 3-4 days to a week. Good luck! I hope it pulls through for you!

Loki is on the ball! A posting feind who really wants to tunze ato. Ok now that, that is out of the way his recommendations are spot on for what I would say. Dip it, and low light, low flow. And by low light I don't mean just bottom of the thank, it should be in indirect light for the time being. The only thing I would say is not pulling out of the tank to feed as this will usually make it retract. I'd say turn off all your pumps, make sure your fish are feed so they don't go after this guys food, and then spot feed, but don't feed till it puffs up a bit otherwise your just wasting food. Try using some oysterfeast, or nutramar ova to entice feeding and then give it some mysis. good luck
Oh yeah. I always (if possible) try not to expose my coral to air. So when I said pull it out. I guess I should have said put the Tupperware in the tank and set the scoly in it. Then remove. But yeah the best bet is to not mess with it too much. For me it doesnt matter how much I feed. My goby likes to get on the biggest meatiest thing in the tank and steal its food.
+1 on the indirect light. I'm not sure if I said but under a rock ledge. More shade than light is what I did. Crossing my fingers.

I can add that a very good friend of mine collects dying scolies from stores....20 bucks or so usually....and they look at him with 'are you for real' eyes 
He takes them home and acclimates them to his tank. Then he gets them into a daily feeding mode. Removes them from the tank and places them in a butter dish or tupperware container that they fit it. Places a ton of food with them and lets them site there for an hour. Does that everyday and have seen him save more than he loses. One was almost nothing but skeleton and its now an ultra.
