Hey welcome to Reef2Reef! What are your parameters? Any recent changes to your tank? Are any potential inhabitants bothering it?
 
You've chosen one of the more difficult corals for your first coral.

More details about your tank will help us to help you. In addition to above questions, how old is your tank? do you have any other corals, how are they? what type of lighting and flow do you have?
 
Almost dead as a doornail I'm afraid. That's tissue necrosis and at that advanced stage there is nothing left to save, all the white stuff is just bone.

How long have you had it in there?
 
Thanks for all the replies..
Have some other sps and lps that are doing very well..
That particular coral only had for 2 weeks.

Alk. 8.9
Calc. 420
Nitrates 0
Phos. .06
Salinity 1.024
Have 2 ai prime 16 lights
Two wave makers.

And it’s a 40gallon tank..

Tank is 6 months old..

Snip off the top nubes and gently superglue to a plug/rock, immediately dip in tank water for curing.
Cut only good flesh of the is any left.
