fungia doesn't look so great

[jimi]

so my fungia is ... dying? it is showing allot of skeleton. it is stable for now, but once
a month or so, it spreads. i dont know what it is my waters fine. copper is fine and my
dosing has not changed it was in the tank fine for 6 months. so im wondering if it can
be saved. there was some talk of rts?

[Sir Patrick]

Is it getting too much light? too much flow? Have you been feeding it?

[jimi]

its sheltered and eats mysis by the ounce.

[Tom@HaslettMI]

Is it being stung by another coral? I had a fungia lose tissue when a pagoda coral shed a slimey layer (after being exposed to the air during a water change).

Cynarina is a likely culprit. I've never had a cynarina so I can't speak from personal experience, but they can expand to be quite large and may be stinging the fungia. Check the tank a few hours after lights out or before lights on to see if the cynarina is touching the fungia. If so you should move one or the other.
