What are your PO4 and NO3 levels? Have you noticed any fish or inverts bothering it? Was it sitting near any other corals or anemones?

there is no such thing as a wellsophyllia radiata. trachyphyllia geoffroyi is the real name. Wellsophyllia radiata was made up cuz there are 2 typs of trachys

That is not looking good. How long has it been showing skeleton. Mine started showing a little skeleton when I purchased it. I stabilized my prams and spot fed and swelled right back up. Hopefully it recovers.

Low flow Medium light w/ 150w MH probably needs to be 12-18" below in direct light. Don't mess w/ it much as they do not like being handled or moved around.
