Goegonia recovering or dying?

[pulpfiction]

I had an event in my tank that stressed all my coral. Unsure if it was too much light, an alk drop, or when i added a bag if carbon that hadnt been rinsed well enough. Or left a bag of carbon in too long. it released a lot of black powder into the tank. This was all about 3-4 months ago. My second most stressed coral was a ricordea that bleached but it still takes food.

The gorgonia lost the brown on its polyps and I think i can see some skeleton. but it hasnt done much more than look like this. Is it dead? Recovering? Is there anything that will help it along?

Polyps are extended, that’s a good sign. Gorgonians like some flow for constant feeding.

I target feed it reef roids once a week but cant tell if the polyps are reacting to it. I have it in the highest flow spot in the tank.

These are usually tough corals. Put it in low light and leave it alone, doesn't look dead or dying to me.

That's encouraging to hear thanks.

A chunk went bald in a ring near the top. I Still don't think it's looking too hot.

I moved it lower but still in high flow. It's looking worse. The flesh looks like its stripping off now. A piece of flesh is flopping down where its falling off.

My pink cabbage coral just shed. Would that kill it? I am running carbon that I replaced 3 days ago. All other coral look happy.

Should I remove it at this point? It had a long wire with no flesh on the top that i cut off and it just looks awful.

Is there anything that will help it at this point?
