So a LFS closed due to everything going on and they were having great deals on their stock like corals. So I knew they moved all there corals with there fish and most were stressed and lost color. So this plate coral I know was gorgeous with orange rimmed and center and was green with some blue. I am wondering when it will get its color back because the body is nice and fleshy with its "tentacles" out?

Did you just get it? it may just take some time to return to it's original state. what are your PMs?
 
That is not a quick process. Keep it happy and you will see it happen slowly. Could take months
 
Yes, I just got it but had my eye on it for weeks surprised no body got it before then. Oh and what do you mean by PMs? Like what is my light during pm?

Okay I got it for $40 and was originally $175 so I was happy with that! I am patient so I can wait if thats the case.
