    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!
