Need some advice on this Elegance

[7digits]

So my wife and I were at the LFS a month ago and saw an elegance coral. I told her it was hard to take care of and that a lot of them were dying. I told her I had thought about getting one, and I had read a lot about them. Well, her tax return showed up the next morning and she got it as a gift for me. The elegance did great for a few weeks, but it hasn't opened for the last five days. 2 mornings I came home from work to find my Luzon starfish attached to it's skeleton, not eating it, just attached to it. The first time I took it off, the second time I moved the starfish to the sump and did an Iodine dip on the elegance. Later that night it was almost fully open and looking much better. The next day it didn't open at all, so I figured I'd leave it alone. The next day I did another Iodine dip on it. The last couple days it's only sticking some of it's tentacles out, slightly open. It has been I assume shedding tissue, white stuff coming out of it. I have moved it to low light low flow locations, and higher light higher flow locations. I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions? Tonight I'm gonna do another iodine dip with a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide. I read that on reefcentral. Should I just give up on the little fellow before it fouls the tank? Is there something else I should do?

This page doesn't paint a very pretty picture:

The Elegance Coral in Aquaria: Catalphyllia Jardinei: Is There a Place in Our Tanks For Them?

It mentions Nitrofurazone or Doxycycline as possible treatments for Elegance Coral Syndrome, but does not contain any evidence of the effectiveness of this approach.

Should I just give up on the little fellow before it fouls the tank? Is there something else I should do?

Do you have a QT to put it in?

Good luck.

So last night I dipped it in an iodine/hydrogen peroxide dip. I used a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide and 2 tablespoons of Seachem Reef dip and a gallon of water. It's open today! I can't believe it. It has been this open in over a week. It's not as open as it has been in the past, but IT IS OPEN. Hopefully it's on it's way to recovery. I still have my doubts, but at least it's open again. Attached are a pic of it in all of it's glory, and another from today. On a sad note, my new six line wrasse swam into a powerhead and is no longer with us as I found him too late. He was swimming around before I went upstairs to put my daughter down for her nap, but when I got back all I saw was his tail sticking out. Poor guy. I have a feeling i'm not out of the woods yet with this elegance though.
