Is this anacropora a goner?

This is supposed to be a bio reef green goblin anacropora… as you can see it’s in pretty rough shape. It was partially buried in GHA for a bit where it’s turned brown. I’ve cleared up the GHA but this coral has been slow to recover. It’s looked like this for weeks, and hasn’t gotten much worse, but hasn’t gotten better either. Does it just need more light, less light, or is this something else? It’s confusing me because the tips are bleached but the base is brown.

Tips look like it has some tissue, just bleached. Base looks shot. So could come back if given good params, flow and lighting.

Yea? Do you think I should move it? Or leave it be?

Hard to say. Seems like gha was the problem first time around. If the gha is cleared up, keep it low and slowly move it up over several weeks.
