Is this elegance coral dead?

I received this about 9 days ago from a website and it never opened up and looked sick since the start. You can see in the photos that some of the tentacles have fallen off. I just tested my water for ammonia and it's at .25, I have it in my display as thats the only tank I have.

 

Pretty close to dead, doubt it'll come back, but it may. Sorry for your loss. How long has the tank been set up that you're still reading for ammonia?

 

It's toast.

Take an image of it and send it to the distributor.

Elegance corals quickly fall victim to bacterial infections during transport. Even small tears in their delicate tissue are serious.

I would remove it to prevent a further increase in your ammonia levels as it's just decaying now.

 

Ok thanks for the advice, I already sent in pictures to the website, just wanted to make sure it was dead before I removed it since I currently don't have a quarintine or extra tank to put in in to see if it will make a recovery.
