nice additions!
Gotta ask, is the piece in the last photo a Trachyphillia (Open Brain)??? If so, it doesn't look too good...be sure to keep an eye on it and give it alot of attention. Definitely not past the point of no return, but needs some TLC. |

It looks bad but I definitely think it could recover. It is bleached pretty badly. Give it the best conditions you can and try not to move it much or bother it. Try feeding it some mysis shrimp and see if it will give you a feeding response.

Try and feed it Mysis as James recommended and see if it reacts. Place it low in the tank with low flow.
Did you dip it before putting it in the tank? If not, a dip in something like Revive wouldn't hurt. I've seen worse recover. Good Luck! |

That last picture looks like a scolymia to me.

Looking st some pics, it does look like a scolymia, they just called it a open brain when I got it. I got it for nothing so could no pass that up. It actually is improving rapidly. It is inflating and some of the pink is showing up toward the center of the white and the pink is getting brighter.. Their appears to be 4 mouths, they are opening up as well. Hopefully by tomorrow I will be able to get some pics in better shape. I have it about 16" under 4 x 160 watt VHO's and has low to moderate flow in that area.
