Need help!!! Fast please!

I got home today and noticed a red spot on my lobo and a little red dusting on the sand just below the spot. It looked like the flesh was receding too. I turned the coral around to get a good picture. The red on the sand just floated away. I already know its bleached, I bought it like that and have had it about a month. I feed it about every 2-3 days. I think I've heard of a flesh eating algae, is this it? What can I do to save it? I need help fast. I love this lobo and don't want to lose it.

I think that is just cyano being fueled from the dead area on the coral. That poor guy is in bad shape. Hope you can turn it around.
