Hi everyone. I have posting here about this coral a lot, but it seems like it dead. It has some brown on it now as you can see in the picture. I know, however, that until there is nothing its still technically "alive". Should I first leave this in my tank? And second, should I do anything to try to bring it back to life? I have been searching online but can't really find a clear answer.

Need a lot more information. Such As:
Age of tank
Water parameters: ALK, CA. PH, PO4, NO3
Size of tank
Amount of flow
Type of lighting
Placement in tank Etc.

My tank is 4 months old.
Alk is 10 DKH
CA, PO4 test in the mail.
NO3- 5 ppm
Salinity 1.025 maintained with ATO
40 gallon breeder with a return pump at about 600 gph and a SOW8 flow pump running on second lowest.
I use an AI prime light mounted 18 inches from water
The coral is placed in a low flow mid light region
 
If you click my posts I have two other posts about it with more information as well.
 
Let your Alk lower and get the flow to medium. They like more flow than low.
