Tender Loving Care!
As long as your not giving it a linear stream from a near by power head it should be ok. But if the coral is in shock or bleached( being in a "young stage" wont apply here) Im pretty good at telling the difference even with a bad pic. And does appear bleached, and this being the case you may very well have algea deposits on the tips. Not because you dont have enough flow but because theres exposed skeleton acting more or less like a filter for your water. Hopefully its not past the point of no return just yet.
My suggestion for the future? By frags from your buddies, or someone you can trust. This way your only dropping no more than 20 bucks, and the frag youll have will be much hardier due to being raised in captivity rather than a colony that gets stressed due to being taken from a wild/natural environment, then shipping then put in several (less than desireable)holding tanks before finally being put in your tank.
The best bet with what you have? Stay on top of your water perameters to make sure that ALL test are optimal. Definately a water change if you haven't done one within a month, and some fresh carbon is always a good thing
Oh, and cross your fingers and pray Good luck man, hope the best!
