Oooofff. Umm, I really don't think the outlook is promising. Have you seen any flesh since you've moved it?
 
Don't throw it away. Just keep it in your tank for at least 6 months. I have seen them come back months after all tissue was gone.
 
there was a little tissue around the outer rim. i the photo all color is tissue.....besides what i said of 60w led 10 gal. water from display tank, a empior 500 HOB filter, and a 550 wisper powerhead......anything else to hopeful save this coral i can do?
 
What I have learned is that if there is one spot of flesh remaining give it a chance, I do see some color around the edges so that is promising. Just let it sit, as far as the LEDs I think you are ok, just if you are worried shorten the time the light is on.
 
i have it on a timer of 6am blue 7am whites to about 7pm whites off and them blue tell about 9pm all dark after that....... or should i just do blues no whites for blue is for growth........
 
More Blue than whites, going for the 20k penetration.
