Pagoda cup dying, frag to save

I got a pagoda cup in August and it looked fabulous for a month and a half or so, then it started to slowly lose tissue, just a very small amount aroun the base at first and slowly, now in patches all over, bare skeleton and brown growing on it. I believe bacteria is causing this. A small portion of the colony has not been affected just yet, but it is spreading faster all the time and I know I can't save the colony so I was thinking of trying to frag off the healthy part tonight, and hope for the best. After I frag it, should I chuck the rest of the colony that is a goner so that the necrosis can't spread to the frag? Thanks in advance and if anyone has tips about how to go about this it would be greatly appreciated

Well I got a small frag, maybe like 2 inches by 1 inch. I made sure that there was a 1 inch or so gap of healthy flesh around the frag. It's on my sand bed now.

I chucked the rest of the colony, figured I would let it die quick instead of slowly like it has been
