Can someone tell me if its rotting away? Can iy be saved or should I pull it out. It was oozing some liquid slime from the open area in the picture.

I think your parameters are pretty good,maybe temp could be a smig lower but I dont think thats causing your problem.I have a book here on corals.it say "When distured the polyps cotract and the colony blanches white"I would say the fish or something else is bothering it,maybe try to move it.I dont think it is too far gone yet.It can recoperate if you can stop the agression against it.Keep us posted

I moved it off the sandbed and put it up on the rocks so I can keep a better eye on it. I will watch for a few days and post any updates. Thanks
