ok i got this through a trade...it was looking ok when i got it yesterday..retracted but thats what u expect from lps when shipped..so i told the person that i traded to that its fine..
its my first time trading lps...
heres a pic of it when i got it..from what im seeing it looks fine..so i told the person that it came safe...after in my tank it didnt puff at all so i thought its still getting use to my tank

That sucks to hear. :(
Try feeding it. I got a scolly from taichimaster and it was on the brink of death and I started feeding mysis everyday and it came back and it looks awesome now! It's a $200 scolly that I got for $25.
You can do it! :)

Luisse from the pic it almost looked like some of the flesh is turning into a brown jelly? if thats the case thats not a good sign. If you can try and frag the few good heads and maybe do a light iodine dip.
