Help me save my scolly

Help........

I got home last night and I noticed that my bleeding apple scolly has almost completeley detached from its skeleton.

Is it a goner, what to do?

It is in a low flow area of my tank, on the bottom in the shade.

My params are : Temp 78

SG 1.026
MG 1425
ALK 8.9DKH
CA 460
PH ~ 8.2
Ammonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate ~5
Phos .02

I am very sad!!!

Can you get us a picture?

Digital Camera not working.....

Problem was specified pretty specifically, The meat of the coral is just about completeley detached from its skeleton.

I am afraid to touch it as it might come completley off. What should I do?

it sounds like a goner :\ but like the other post stated, pics..

Have you tried feeding it with ANY success?

Some have kept these corals in a specimen container and let it grow back. With target feedings, the skeleton can come back. You most likely had a parameter or flow that was not to the coral's liking. If you want, you can try gluing it back onto the skeleton...
