I bought a biocube 32 a couple weeks ago, this was in the tank. It hasn’t opened, hasn’t really changed in condition. So I’m curious what everyone thinks this is and if it’s recoverable? I’m new to the hobby so I appreciate all advice

Looks like a zoa (Zoanthids) leave it at low par(low light, bottom area/bottom of the rock work) and low to medium flow area. Dont move them arround, they hate that well pretty much all corals do. Best is to create a little rock Island on the sand bed for then because they can spread like crazy. And that frag is bleached but totaly savable

Any suggestions on what I can do for them? I have been testing my water regularly and everything seems within range of where it should be
Just leave them alone and dont move them arround, give ut a week or two to see if they introvert in their pigment, what are your phosphate and nitrate? A little elevated levels of those two can help alot
