DOA thoughts?

I received a shipment (won't name who from because it's not relevant to the discussion) yesterday that was delayed 4 hours by FedEx. I live in Michigan and it's winter... overnight temps were low 20's. The other coral that came along with the Pink Stylophora was DOA and I will be receiving credit for it.

This is the condition of the Stylo after spending the night in my tank. They told me it still looked like it would make it Just wanted to get your thoughts because it looks pretty far gone.

Looks recoverable to me. As long as it’s not totally bleached out, losing flesh, or had rotten smelling water in the bag I think it’s ok.

Looking at it I dont see anything that makes me think it wont survive.

Pink stylo is my favorite coral. I hope it pulls through.

Looks fine considering...
I received an order yesterday and water was cold. Two acros are struggling - one is mostly white and water in bag smelled foul and was cloudy - last time that happened it didn't make it. Id be surprised if yours doesn't pull through though.
