Default Fungia bleaching or dying ?

This coral has been in my tank for two weeks. It has never opened up. I'd
expect it to stay closed for a few days maybe, but not this long. Today
it looked like this.

pCrap.
pWater test show no NH4, NO2, NO3, or phosphates. pH is 8.1, temp 82,
Ca 345, SG 1.025, alk 10. I suspect it's dying (or dead), but I'm hoping
it's just bleached with a chance to come back. Any thoughts or advice ?
Do I need to get it out of my tank NOW so it doesn't pollute my water,
or do I leave it in hoping it comes back ?
pTIA.
