Coral got delayed a day

[TCseh]

I ordered this hammer coral and it got delayed in shipping. It seems the tip of the polyps have fallen off on some. What are some emergency procedures I can do to maximize the chance of this coral living?

acclimate as normal, put in tank, leave alone.

Should I dip? I don't see any pests. I am also have little experience identifying pests.

The "correct" answer is yes, even if the dip pushed the coral over the edge and it dies, it's better than risking your other corals and fish.

It looks bad but salvageable

Caught this thing swimming in the acclimation bowl. Is it fine? Since my coral is like this should I still dip or what should I do after acclimation?

I didn't see your reply when I posted my message.

Acclimate, then dip, then put into your tank

and hope for the best
