My Scoly is disintegrating not sure why

[Alexx]

I need a bit of help not sure what might be wrong with the Scolly. I did a dip in iodide for 15 min. And still looks like is losing flesh it started from yesterday and I see is progressing.
My other corals are fine. Here are the water parameters:
Ca:380
Alk: 10
Mg:1340
Nitrate: 0,2 to 0,5
Phosphate: 0.196
Ph: 8.4
I got this Scolly 3 days ago not sure if is cuz of the transport issue but it was looking good first day after transport.

On the top part you can see the tissue is flaying to off. Wonder if I should cut it. Try to save half of it. Do you think is cuz of too much light? is sitting in 120 to 200 par 200 is when all lights are on

Transport can be tough. All those sharp little spines can puncture the flesh easily and lead to problems.

Did it get stung by a neighboring coral?

Less likely because is close to a setosa and has no way it can sting it. I’m kinda sad to see the flash like that, tearing apart from the coral.

You might be right. I might have put to much pressure on the bag. Maybe when I pulled it out of the bag. Or when I placed the bag in the sump

Did it end up recovering @Alexx? I saw this segment about boring barnacles (Lithophaga genus) that bore into the skeleton of these and can cause irritation/recession:

I lost the Scolly. I wish I had a bandsaw so that I could have cut it but I went in vacation and did not had time to cut it. Kinda sad but it is what it is.

 

[Darkxerox]

Still have the skeleton? Curious if there was a barnacle in there?

I heard that they prefer colder temp than average reef.
