Is my Candy Cane Torch Dead

[DougiesREEF]

So I have been posting on here about my torch completely shrinking, but today a huge chunk of it fell off and it now looks like this. Is it dead? Should I take it out of the tank. If interested in parameters, look at my last post. Thanks in advance.

In the last seconds, there looks like a brown string floating off of it. Is it pooping? Torches shrivel up a lot when doing their business.

It is not dead but pieces falling off is not a good thing.

If you want input here, should probably list parameters here.

Doesn't look great I'll admit. But as long as there's 'coral flesh' there's hope.

@Lost in the Sauce I think thats dead tissue to be honest

Almost all of it came off... Should I leave it in or do anything for it?

Unfortunately I bought a greenstem yellow tip torch was my very first one and within 5 days had brown gunk/tissue come off it almost stringy looking.. took photos and sent to LFS they said its dead/ dying. lucky I got a refund. Tbh it started off looking like this.
