You could try dipping it but most likely its from contamination and not bacterial. Its possible that if the tissue necrosis continues that bacteria could take hold and cause a faster decline in the coral. If it were me, I would dip it anyway in something like Coral RX or Iodine and make sure it has adequate water flow around the effected area just to be safe. Poly filters, carbon and frequent water changes are about the only things short of placing the coral in a different tank that I could think to do. Any chances that it was close enough to another coral for it to have been stung? I've had Acans reach out as far as 2-3 inches to sting and kill neighboring corals before that resulted in the same sort of symptoms you described. Good luck and let us know how it does.

I've always placed my corals back in my tank after but you could take a dish of tank water to rinse it in before placing it back in your tank for extra precaution I guess.
