Hello..

We bought this coral last tuesday.. The man we bought it from didnt know what it was.

He tould ut to use aquascape/aquarium epoxy so it could stick too the rock..

Now it looks like its about too lose its colour.. We removed the epoxy as mutch as we could...

What is it? And is it going to be ok??

One said it could be a pavona sp. but i dont know.. I'v searchd on google, bur non looked like this..

Looks like a pavona I have or maybe could be Merulina. Pretty tough coral, will likely recover its color if lighting is sufficient. What's lighting the tank in your avatar?

I would agree that it's a Pavona. It's probably experiencing stress from the move. It'll take it awhile to acclimate to your tank. They are very hardy corals, so should recover nicely, as long as you're meeting it's needs. IMO, color loss in corals, can be just as much due to lack of skimming (water quality), as lighting.
