Help my Toadstool seems to be melting

Can anyone give me any advice. My Toadstool appears to be melting. It is a rather large Toadstool . But the one side appears to be melting away and getting worse.

Should I remove it?

Hmmm..... I read somewhere that "drooping flesh" is a way for a certain coral to reproduce. Might this be the type of coral? When you said melting, it reminded me of the picture I saw of that coral that was reproducing.

I have only had him for two weeks or so. I have 400 watt power compacts (200 full/200 blue) on a 125 gallon tank. All tank levels are normal. He has actual lost flesh. The part that was melting is gone and has floated around the tank. He was a pretty big specimin. Maybe the size od a small frisby when he was fully up.

It look like a quarter of him is gone.
