Default Hello CANREEF!

First timer on saltwater keeping but have had experience with freshwater (piranhas) and brackish (green spotted puffers). Keeping a 45 gallon tank for just over 6 months now with everything flourishing immensely. No aptasia at all thanks to my peppermints but sadly no coralline thanks to my hermits and urchin!

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with "blue palm tunicates/corals?" I purchased one about 2 months back and at first it was doing great shed its heads for more robust ones and its stalk became thicker. After about a month it seemed to slim down and this was primarily because of a nudibranch i found on the stalk which i removed fearing it was eating away at the coral. About a week and a half ago the coral seems to be "melting/fading" away slowly!!! Is there any hope or actions i can take to try and revitalize this coral? I also have a few non-photo corals a sun coral, orange carnation and a blubbery gorgonian in the tank and they are all thriving so i assume nutrition for the blue palm is sufficient (coral frenzy and reef roids). Other than that I'm stumped!!!
