The unhealthy one's that have become common place more recently will show these symptoms and usually die fairly quickly it's definitely not a slow process.
I had never seen these symptoms eather. Until I started this research. If these corals are left in the environment that caused them to become ill they will die very quickly. If the exposure is great enough and held long enough even after the coral is removed it may still die. If you would have kept your PC's your Elegance may still be alive today.
