I was about to dispose of it, but decided to stick it on a small shelf in a non-visible spot until it died completely. Now, about 3 weeks later, it's recovering very well - it has reclaimed about 50% of it's skeleton and visibly growing every day. Sure happy I didn't toss it.

I have also seen a similar behavior from one at our LFS - is it possible this is abit of a cycle they go through?
The exact same thing happened with our bubble coral
