Bleaching mystery coral

I accidentally dropped this guy behind a rock about two months ago. Finally found him, and he’s just slightly purple at the tips now— is he going to make it?
Also, what the heck is this guy? I forgot what they called it at my LFS. I think they said galaxia but idk.
Thanks!

Yep and if it does make it give it some space. They do not play nice

thank you. It’s probably 3 inches from some zoas but I’ll move those a little farther. Any idea if the galaxea will survive?

Lps have been known to comeback all you have to do is hope.

I think you said you could still see some flesh or was that before you lost it?

Hello! There’s still a little bit of flesh on the tips of each polyp. I put the bad boy in his own little spot, and I’m just going to spot feed him every other day.

Signs of flesh is good. Take it slow and allow him to recover. Once he is reestablished mine seems to like higher flow
Is a fast grower when happy. Much larger than in this pic now
