NOTICE: Keep in mind, corals are often very stressed due to shipping. On the rare occasion when they arrive, their coloration may be slightly different than what is pictured initially or their polyps may not open for a short time thereafter. Though rare, it may occur. Please give them time to acclimate to your home aquarium first. However, dead corals will have bare/peeling skin tissues, have a rotten smell, and sometimes turn white.
