Chalice Trouble

I got this Tyree Aspera I'm a little worried about. It was fresh cut from my LFS.

There is a part near the cut where the skeleton is slightly showing and it has been sliming a little green color. But the over body looks good... except for a little part of the side. Should I be concerned? This is my first chalice so any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Might help to dip it in TMPCC or Lugols as directed. Keep it under low light, down low in the tank. After it heals up a bit, you may be able to move it to higher light. Good luck! Also, know that Kh and Mag are extremely important for chalices. Don't let either of them dip low. mag 1300+ and Kh 9+ IMo. Ca 420+. HTH!
 
Heres two pictures I just snapped. Sorry kind of crummy...but as you can see the side is slightly baring it's skeleton but the rest of the body looks good. Problem is I can't watch it as I have to leave out of town.

Everything is pretty stable now. It's sitting on the sand bed with low flow. Hopefully, it will pull through.
