That strange jelly underneath the scoly in the first pic of this thread must be some sort of indicator of what's going on.....too much coincidence for that stuff to randomly show up and then the holes...anyone seen that stuff before?

I've lost a couple over the years. Mine did exactly as yours is doing. I wasn't able to save them. Sucks loosing one as they aren't cheap. I guess thats the risk with basically one big polyp..

If the concensus is that it's a gonner, I'd start digging

Maybe you'll even find something under the flesh on the top side

Good luck Jess

As a last resort, you could try removing it and placing it in an iodine bath then in a separate tank with no substrate.
As long as it's on the sand the scavengers still have free access to it.

It's decaying flesh of the coral. An entry point for scavengers.
