Hey Pat,
It's possible it is being attacked by another coral. By means of chemical warfare. You may want to move it away from some of your other soft coral. Perhaps up stream (Flow) from the others. Is it very shiny, and does it appear to be shedding a slime coat?

These are symptoms of stress form warfare.

Give moving it a try and see if it improves

Thank you
I will transfer it to my hospital tank for a couple of weeks,giving it a chance to revive it self.
No it is not shiny at all,it is a medium grey and seems to have a greenish skin on it?????
Tanks again
