Chemi-pure and activated carbon are better designed for the toxins released in the chemical warfare of soft corals, for example.
The "slime" produced is more like organic matter that will be consumed by bacteria, and would be best removed by a water change or skimming.
I don't think that long term the coral would "thrive", but given it's small size, it will probably do just fine until you get a better skimmer.
Just keep in mind that it will probably increase your bio-load significantly, and so you should be ready to deal with it.
