Kiss that one goodbye. Do a search on RTN (Rapid Tissue Necrosis).

Cut the live stuff where it looks good and live and get it off of there. There is a slight chance you can still save some of it.
Put the live piece you cut off on the other end of the tank.

I got some research to do... Some quick questions.. Will it spread to my other corals? Is there anything I can do to prevent this? Thanks guys!
Dunno, could be different in different tanks. I have had it only affect like 1 coral at a time.....and it's allways months apart.

When you cut frags from a RTN'd coral you need to cut it above the bleached part. If you have any of the bleached part on the base it will just continue. You may also want to dip it in an iodine base coral dip. I bought a chips acro frag that RTN'd in a few hours.
