| It is a bit difficult to know exactly what the problem is without a pic. But from what you described, it may be tissue necrosis. You can use airline tubing to siphon off the dead/necrotic tissue and giving the coral a bath with an Iodine solution like TM Pro Coral Cure or similar product is likely the best way to treat the problem as the iodine will act as an antiseptic and hopefully kill prevent the spread of the tissue necrosis |
