Coral Issue?
I went to my LFS, and they gave me an Encrusting Gorgonian that was whitish peach in color at the store. I got home and before I even got it in the tank it looked like this. I also got a Paliosa that looks great in the tank, but this Gorgonian is weirding me out. Is it dead, or is this normal?

They look that way when they are retracted. Not dead most likely just unhappy from the move

That looks like bubble algae on it, it's been dead.
