The day after I got it, I noticed the tissue had peeled away, exposing the skeleton :crying:
I have it under 36 watts of HO T5. My tank is only 5.5 gallons, so it's pretty strong. I think it came from a tank with MH, but I'm not 100% certain.

my parameters are:

SG: 1.025
ammonia:0
nitrate:0
nitrite:0
PH: 8.0
temp: 79-80

the tissue hasn't receded anymore since the picture was taken, but the polyps haven't extended either. The top layer of color started peeling right after I took it off it's frag plug, but I do that for all the frags I get and none of them have shown any side effects from it.

I have since moved it into a shady spot on the bottom. Will it recover? If so, how long will it take. This is the first coral I've had any problems with.
 
Thanks Rit! I have it on the "less flow" side of my tank, under a ridge. The tissue edges do look smoother than they did this morning.
 
I'd wait to put it in more flow till the tissue heals...or it'll just blow it off.
