    Got this coral few days ago. I keep it on the sand bad with High to moderate flow(40breeder with 4x Evo750). Light is Reefbreeders with optics removed. It seems to like to eat. It was dark green when I got it, but it seems color gets slightly changed to purple in some spots, not sure if it's a sign of stress or recovery. Any tips? it will be fragged once its fully recovers.

    It should be ok as long as you're not seeing tissue loss.
