Any chance of a pic of the ric with the surrounding corals as well?
It might have gotren stung.
Your water parameters would also be helpful.

The ric doesn't like where it's at and will slime to detach itself and move to another place. Try placing the ric somewhere else or remove 'n reattach it with glue.

Unless there is rubble or sand attached to the ricordea's foot, gluing will not work.

I think it is dead has a hole where the mouth was there is a little piece where it orginally was attached to the rock looks like it moved it is in a tupperware now should I keep the little piece there maybe it will grow back

I have never had a ric slime before it decided to move on it's own. They simply move under their own power..very s l o w l y, but no slime involved.

I am getting rid of it it looks dead the mouth is gone but a small piece of the foot and a couple little pieces of it still attached to the rock do you think it will grow back I will post pic tonight

 

[Deanos]

It will not grow back if whatever killed it in the first place remains the same.

it was new and I put it high up on a rock I think to much light and maybe it wasnt doin good when I got it
