Orange monti loosing color

[dan30097]

Hey,

I need some advice. From what I've read montipora are an easy coral to take care of. I just moved some stuff around in my tank including the monti, and a water change. In the mist of that I left the montipora out of water for maybe 30 mins before tank was refilled. Now one side looks like its beginning to fade in color, almost gray! Will it recover? Has anyone dealt with this problem before?

Out of water for 30 is probably gonna kill it, id wait and see though befire tossing.

Rather than leaving it out of water next time just take a little old water and put it in there. I try not to leave things out of water for more than a few minutes.
