Need help with a hairy mushroom coral

You are correct. That part is dying. A close look at the
before picture shows that this section was not happy even
then. It could have been injured in transport. Make sure
your water quality is good, and that the injured area does
not spread.

I didn't hink of this until I posted the message, but I actualy have
some before and after photos:

This one was taken the day after I introduced the colony to my tank. I
spent about 45 minutes doing a slow drip acclimation and the polyps
extended out within 3-4 hours of placement in the tank.

This was taken tonight. The white area first appeared yesterday morning,
so whatever this is, it's moving fast.

So, do I need to pluck this one off the rock and discard it? The cleaup
crew don't seem to be touching it and I'd hate to see whatever this is
spread to the rest of the rock.

I would leave it unless it looked like it was spreading.
