Is this dead?

Hi all I was in one of my friends las night whose getting rid of his tank and I took all that left from the corals here is a pic of a leather I belief The thing is its pretty hard and its doesn't seem soft at all just some parts of it is it dead and should I take it out? he had it for couple years in his tank but it shrinked to this size what you think?

 

hes probly done for.I did the same thing w/a freinds and after a week it got worse.It couldnt take the change in its enviorment.

 

Wait and see!

 

I agree. Put it in a place near the top half of your tank and see what happens. They are pretty hardy.

 

Thanks for all the help I will put it up higher in the tank.

 

ive seen a cabbage coral one time it looked like it was done for but it was put in a different tank and put with some better lighting and after a while some very very small spots started growing. it took a while but it came back to life
