Got given a Duncan coral today for free from my local fish store because it has been closed for a week and hasn’t opened, I’m just wondering if anyone has run into this before, it’s been in my tank for 8 hours now and still no changes. I tried putting in some amino acids and still nothing

All other corals are happy and looking good

Tank parameters
Salinity - 1.025
Alk - 9
PH - 8.3
Cal - 420

There is still tissue so not dead. . . but not looking the best. Polyps are pulled into the skeleton very tightly. . . ? What are N and P?
