Can it be saved?

[Mindflux]

I got this piece of coral off a friend who noticed it bleaching out. It's got very little color to it, just in a few spots right now.

Right now I've got it under Actinics until my MH kicks in. It'll be directly under the MH about 10" below the water surface. I'm hoping good light and moderate flow from my pumps can breathe some life into it.


Has anyone brought a stalk of SPS this far gone back or should I just put it on my mantle?

no...from the picture it seem like it has no tissue.

 

[Mindflux]

no...

That's what I thought but I figured I'd ask before making final judgement. I mostly have LPS/zoas/etc.. so 'sea sticks' aren't my specialty.


Per your edit. It has very little, it's on the backside (not shown)...

At least it was free.. I know i've watched a few corals loose every last bit if color and just couldn't accept they were gone.. till coralline started growing on it lol. Sorry bud
