Is this Acan frag dead?

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.

Receded but not dead.. in water would be easier tell! It’s prolly just stressed and will puff up once happy.

Agree with above give it a chance see what happens.

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.....
