You will need to move the elegance. The top edge of the skeleton should not come into contact with anything. There is a thin, very delicate, layer of tissue that overlaps this area.

How long has it been this way?

How strong is the flow in its area?

I really hope he's just ticked off at the moment, because that could be an incredible elegance. The skeleton shows that it grew at an astonishing rate. I've never seen one quite like it.

For now, I would find it a low flow area on the sand. The other elegance should be in a low flow area as well. Stick the point on the bottom of the skeleton in the sand, but do not touch the top edge while you do it. Ya, I know it will be a little tricky with the elegance you have, but..........

Elegance corals can be placed right next to each other with no harm. I don't think that had anything to do with it. The damaged tissue around the edge probably isn't helping matters much. If you can get it into a lower flow area and infection doesn't set in, it should begin to open back up very soon.
