    Just got my order of coral this morning.... Fedex man knocked on the door at 6:45( said he knew it was live and did me the favor) scared me half to death lol

    Anyway this was added in, ( I didn't order it) I'm assuming it's dead or dying, what is it and is there any saving it?

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Looks like a Bubble coral, they often look like that after shipping or stressed. Does not look dead or dying to me.

    Watch for sweepers, they're not common but they are possible from bubble corals.
