sps, at what point do you give up and throw it away?

Never give up on a coral not matter what! Picked up a superman digi and it didn't do well at all in my tank. Went completely bleached and became encrusted with algae and crap. I just left it in its place because I was both too lazy and ****ed off to remove it. A few weeks later I noticed a few red polyps peeking out from under some algae. This live area is now spreading slowly but surely to cover about one-third of the previously dead skeleton <knock on wood>.
