Yikes. Your acantho is in rough shape. What happened? Not much you can do, when or if it's healthy it should just grow around it

Looks very bleached.
I wish I could give better news.

Ya, very bleached. Algae will grow on exposed skeleton when flesh recedes. I hope you can bring it back. Welcome to R2R, glad you are here!

Welcome to R2R!

That is one seriously weakened coral. In answer to your specific question, leave the skeleton alone. If the coral regains health it will grow over it and smoother it. There is something seriously wrong in your tank for that coral's health, water parameters, light or water flow but hard to tell what without more information.

Unfortunately your coral does not look good. Hope you can figure it out.

Welcome! As mentioned above, it looks very bleached. You may want to move it to the shade and try target feed reef roid or amino.
If it takes food, there’s good chance that it will grow back.
