It looks to me like it is starting to turn the corner. As a general rule, stark white is bad. The brown looks like it is beginning to return to life.

Eh, but when I buy them, they were white. I thought it was beautiful.

Well you bought an unhealthy coral. It’s a good sign that it is regaining color. If it stayed pure white it would eventually die. I’d switch stores that you shop at and try to find healthy corals that you like. There’s basically no corals or anemones (aside from condy anemones) that will stay white.

Thank you very much for the information!

Is that supposed to be a Galaxea coral?

If so yes its absolutely not supposed to be white and those that sold it to you are taking advantage of you unless they said it was bleached and gave you a super deal on it..
