I received this wonderful, baseball sized tenuis acropora yesterday.
It arrived and the bag did smell a little weird, but could have just been simply the salt water.
Everything was in place, there were a bunch of flakes in the water but not too bad.
I did notice the inner parts of the colony having white spots.
However, after leaving it overnight, this thing has lost a ton of it's color and is flaking all of its brown off in spots (whole trunks are missing the brown coloring).
Could you please tell me: is this salvagable at this point? Or it is simply transport stress and will recover and grow back.
