Hello everyone
My elegance coral is dying. Its size has been reduced to 80% of the regular size and it has some puffy stuff on the edges. Please take a look, zoom in and let me know if there is anything I can do to save it.
Thanks a lot

Without any info on your tank it’s hard to say
Also taking a coral out of the tank when its stressed/dying is not something you should do, it only makes it worse
 
Like the others said, check your parameters make sure everything is OK. I'd try giving it a dip, it can't hurt, but IME when they look like that they're goners.
 
White stuff appears to be a bacterial infection. Not much can be done at this point could try a peroxide or iodine drip but prob too far gone.
 
Thank you everybody.
I took it out just to take a picture.
all the other corals are ok.
However, its a nano reef. No fish. Very difficult to maintain.
It was great for almost one year. Except it did not like any attachment. It was sitting nicely in a bottom corner.
Now some of the white stuff fell off the coral. It may be bacterial infection as JGT suggested. I will try a dip.
