I’ve bought this scolly that was losing flesh and have put it in my tank and was wondering how I can recover it back to full health? I have been using a juice bath with coral essentials but was wondering if any is this group could help and give me solutions to try?
 
Welcome to R2R Drew! Low light, low flow, and you can try target feeding. You don't want to mess with it to much as that can potentially do more damage than good. Can you provide us with pictures of the coral? #WelcometoR2R
 
This is it in the juice bath, I have target feed it for a couple of days now

Welcome to R2R. That scoly is in rough shape but corals can come back. I'd keep in the tank and try to keep it as stable as possible. If it has a feeding response then feed it very small pieces of meaty foods like reef nutrition mysis max, roe, etc.

I was just about to tag you in this post lol
 
When I put mysis in and target feeds it’s mouth opens up which is a good sign
Just don't over feed the coral. Twice a week is plenty. With its current state stability will be key
