I just received this coral from a supporting vender Thursday. It was alive but didn't look great. Mouth was gaping and a lot of slime coming off. I acclimated it and placed it on the sand in a 29 inch deep tank. After day one its mouth was closed then today it is gaping and starting to bleach and looks to have tissue recession. All other LPS and softies are doing well. Lights are Chinese black boxes upgraded with SB reef light led boards. Settings are about 30% on the blues and whites just clicked to turn them on. Salinity is. 025. Nitrates 10 alk 9 dkh calcium 440 mag around 1300. Any suggestions on what I may be able to do to save this one as it looks to be going down hill quickly?

Low flow as possible...but he was probably doomed from shipping...with such pointt skeletons they dont generally ship well...
