Its not uncommon to see them like that after shipping if theyre stressed out. If your waters good it should bounce back and start inflating like normal.

Dude that coral does not look healthy at all, I would contact the supplier and work something out with them because pretty sure you paid a pretty penny

I got 3 that looked just like that and they were puffed up like normal by the next day. So i wouldn't be too worried unless it starts losing flesh

Yeah but sellers don’t want you to wait a few days to contact them if it dies so I think he should just inform them instead of taking a 50/50 and then god forbids it dies a few days later and they don’t wanna refund
