Scolymia experts, need help!

[heuerfan]

I took down my tank to add a sump. Placed new sand and put everything back. Scoly was in a bin for about 2 weeks under a cheap pc work light. It was fine in the bin. Put back in my tank and it hasn't been happy. Hasn't gotten worse than the pic but has yet to get better. Do you think its light shock from being under low lights for 2 weeks? I am only running 260 watt pc and 2-70 watt hqi.

Please help, really don't want to lose this coral, it is one of my favorites. Any advice would be appreciated. I'm thinking i should try feeding raw shrimp?

Thanks,
Steven

definitely not light shock, what are your water parameters?

I have to get new test kits but my other scolys and LPS are fine. How can you tell its not light shock?

Thanks,
Steven

I had this happen to one of my scolyma when my tank had high nitrates.

I would pull it out of the direct light and shade it for a while, until the flesh goes over the white skeleton. You don't want algae growing on them.
