Hi,

Got this coral around 6 weeks ago, totally forgot the name. It was very purple at first but lately gone quite white. Can’t seem to find it online anywhere, not sure if it’s dead and needs to be removed.

Need photos under white lights, pretty hard to tell from those photos.
 
Here you go, hopefully that’s better

It reminds me of a retracted blushing leather coral. I've got a piece and it's definitely more of a purple with all the polyps out but turns white when you touch it and the polyps retract.
I would say it's still very much alive but obviously unhappy about something.
What are your tank parameters? (Water parameters, lighting, flow)
