I agree that some of it looks chewed on. Although, a dying coral could attract many different animals; so it being chewed on may be the result of it not doing well.
#1--Are there any coral close to the blasto that could sting it? Many things have long sweeper tentacles and blastos are pretty delicate creatures and offer almost no defense to other coral attacking.
#2--is there a leather in the tank?
#3--what amount of flow is hitting the blastos? If it's too much flow then the flesh may get injured.
#4--is this piece attached or can you move it down lower to recover?
#5--have you been feeding the blasto?
#1 - no, the closest coral is a torch and it is more than a foot away
#2 - there is a toadstool on the opposite side of the tank
#3 - it's relatively low flow right there, that is why i chose that spot...
#4 - no, I can move it lower. should there be almost no flow where i put it?
#5 - I have only had it for about 3-4 weeks and I have fed it once a week.
