"Diodogorgia nodulifera, collected from the tropical Western Atlantic – and best left to experienced hobbyists with systems designed and dedicated to such azooxanthellate/non-photosynthetic creatures. Assuming water quality is up to par and predation is not an issue, these organisms generally waste slowly – from starvation. The point I’m trying to make is that these corals require specialized care and knowledge, and are not for the casual or beginning hobbyist…in “my” opinion. Your experience here is not unique, and it’s likely you will not be able to save this specimen. But hopefully the experience will reaffirm the necessity to research/learn the needs of your purchases, beforehand."
