Anyone know any reason a piece of coral may be losing some of its colours and if there is any way to fix it. I've had this coral for around 5 weeks.

There are a lot of factors such as water parameters, flow, too much light, too little light, etc. What kind of coral is it and what is happening with the colour?

White can be either to much light, an abnormal increase in temp.
It may be expelling it’s zoo, aka, bleaching.
