Coral losing color. Help identify

This coral is starting to lose color. Do you know what type of coral it is? I need to do some research on the proper way to care for it. Right now it is in my display tank on a frag rack. All of the other corals seem to be doing well. The coral is starting to bleach. It is hard to tell by the pic due to the blue lighting.

it is pretty much impossible to even hazard a guess from that picture. is there any possibility of getting a better one?
 
I can't even see it clearly in the images, but possible reasons could be lighting? is it strong enough or if you just got the corals did you acclimate them with your water, also leave the lights off in your tank and put them in with the lights off for about an hour or so?
 
Thanks guys.

I checked the alk levels again tonight and they were low. I never acclimated them to the light. The other corals seem to be doing well. I'm dosing baking soda now and will add a drip kalk system next week.

I still do not know what type of coral it is. Unfortunately, I am limited to my iphone for pictures.
