I would stop feeding it, it’s just adding stress at this point. How long has it been in the tank, is it getting to much flow, or light perhaps?

Iexperience they will look like they are dying before they begin to reproduce but from what I’ve seen it usually recedes from the edges during this.

Either way leave it in the system, LPS can do strange things and return from the dead at times.

I would also place it on a frag plug or something to just slightly raise it off the sand, at least for now until you get it all figured out.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
