Just received this acan frag and it doesn’t look too good. It’s likely stressed from shipping but I just don’t know if I should be concerned or not. This is how it looked right out of the frag container.

I dipped them and put them in. Hopefully it plumps up soon!

that's skeleton showing, but it looks green like it's been receded long enough for algae to start growing, I think you received it in bad shape and it was shipped in bad shape.

it could come back in the right conditions but your definitely at a disadvantage for acclimating a new coral.....
