This is a red branching sponge, in case anyone is wondering. It stated to bleach and according to AI, very difficult to keep. Should I try to cut off good portions and frag? What’s your opinions?

I can’t tell from the picture if deterioration is surface or internal. Yes, red tree sponges are difficult to recover once they start deteriorating.
I have better success with yellow ball and orange elephant ear. I have had limited success with using a toothbrush with surface algae
Not sure about fragging it, however, I have pruned and discarded deteriorating branches.

The bleaching is on the exterior. I did cut a piece off and it decay hasn’t affected the interior that I noticed.
This is for my macro tank and I’m looking forward to acquiring other colors as well.

Mine have done way better in my sump. Not sure if they like the darkness, or the absence of angelfish eating them helps. Probably both. My lemonpeel angel LOVES sponges so I kind of gave up on having them in the DT.
But it is much harder to enjoy them in the sump.

Touché
When I got serious about ornamental seaweeds for display and included them with ornamental sponges in 120G display, I removed all tangs & drawf angels because both enjoy sponges.

That’s why I’m making a macro tank. I have 2 tangs that destroy macro.

They will definitely do it. I had beautiful macros on the rocks I got from TBS. My tangs destroyed it in two days. I did some re-scaping and swapped rocks between my 40 and 180. The red ogo reappeared in the 40. I guess the tangs didn't kill the holdfast. The only macro to survive the tangs.
