I got this trachy from LFS about 2 weeks ago, and has looked like this since I got it. Was told it was just needed to be put in a better lighting spot than where it was at in their tank. But it doesn't seem happy, for puffy like I've heard other people talk about. It's supposed to be pink and yellow, but I really only see the yellow sort of. Water params are within a normal range. Nothing else is having any problems. I've never owned this type of coral before so I'm not sure. Just moved it into a "shady" spot with low flow to see if it helps.

Any suggestions on trying to help it? Or just a wait and see thing? Will it just go all white when it's all dead like a euphyllia?
If you are seeing skeleton it will probably not survive. Don’t know if it survived, but mine don’t puff if they get moved etc for a while.
