In the initial set of pics it was releasing some slime as a defense mechanism - something made it oftly mad to slime up that bad - how long have you had it? It's either shocked due to params, acclmation or got tagged by another coral. It's good to gently blow that slime off so the coral doesn't suffocate.
This new picture readily show misenteries as Mike mentioned, which is also a stress reaction.

They retract their flesh quite a bit when they are ticked. If you can get it to settle down it may be fine.
Do you have any carbon on hand? It wouldn't hurt to run some.

+1 On the Carbon and flow idea. Just be sure to pick a spot with good flow that is not direct and then try to give the coral time to relax in its new spot.
Another thought is inverts. If you have any that are especially hungry and they are feeding off of the dead tissue of this coral, then this may be causing more stress to a already stressed coral.
Once you get the coral relaxed and stop if from sliming up I have found that target feeding it with formula one pellets is a great way to revive a beaten down Lobo. They really love to be feed pellets and it gives them the strength to recover and thrive.
Best of luck!

Great point didn't think of that, but if I can trust my memory Rye, you don't have any.Originally Posted by vega15
Another great suggestion. For some reason people over look pellets as being a viable good choice for nutrition for their corals. What few chalices and acans I have they seem to love Spectrum Pellets!! Every fish keeper should have Spectrum Pellets Formula A in their cabinet!

How's the lobo doing? I was going to ask about water temp as well as the other suggestions.
