I got this coral since the end of September, but never got the ID
The coral is hard (like LPS) all covered with flesh, which at the beginning was under very bright light (HD Hydra 36 and under 5 inch below the water surface) and high flow for about 2 weeks (the tank was quarantine one, and don't know the prev. conditions it's been kept on). I put it in the same conditions in my DT. At the beginning it was red and orange fluorescence and at the middle was like opening like mouth (saw it once) but never any tentacles (or I just never saw any). for near 2 months it slowly bleach. Now is very light purple-pinkish , I change the light condition and it stay under shade spot. only on the side of the plug (where it encrust) is still brown-red(very dark red). only the flow remain medium to high.
Please if someone can recognise me,I want to read about and to see can I save it, because it was really beautiful at the time I pick it up.
The 1st 3 photos are when I got it, the rest is during the time in my system after 20-25 days since the beginning.
