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.

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

Let your Alk lower and get the flow to medium. They like more flow than low.
