Is My Coral Dying?

[namlessdude]

Hello,
I am new to salt water fish tank and honestly, i jumped in a little too fast. I bought this coral which i can't remember the name of and 1 feel like it is dying now after being in the tank for about 5ish days.
The coral initially was fine and standing up straight, but today it got like this. Is it dead or is this normal? Can it be saved?
My parameters are a 7.9 pH, and a 1.019 salinity.

This isn’t really enough info. You need to be testing alkalinity and calcium to keep corals. Salinity is low though. Target 1.024-1.026 for a reef aquarium. 1.026 is ideal, though some may keep slightly lower for various reasons that were never very convincing to me.

As for those corals, they don’t look happy, but I wouldn’t say they are dying (yet). Get them off the sand bed. What is your lighting and flow?
