So I just got my first coral it's a torch coral I got it home acclimated it put in in my tank in the sand bed at first it was first in a moderate- high flow area two of the heads were pretty much full open but the other two were not so this morning I moved it into a slow-moderate flow location and it's doing the same thing I also posted on another forum about it with pictures and they notified me that the skeleton was showing and it's basically not as healthy as it should be in new to the hobby and didn't realize what the corals health was crappy decision by my definitely a huge learning point but I'm trying to see if anyone with experience could lead me in the right direction is there any salvaging this coral or are they pretty much gonners. I shoulda been on point with this sorta thing but I screwed up. Hopefully they have a shot anyone have any recommendations I would much appreciate it thank you first time posting on this forum please let me know if the pictures upload

What kind of lighting? IMO I would dip it in Coral RX for 5 minutes and put it back in the same lower flow low light area. Hopefully your lights didn't fry it. I have lost some heads while others bounce back on the same piece. Time will tell. Good luck.
 
If the 2 heads start to have brown jelly I would just cut it apart from the healthier heads and throw it away. You can easily tell by smelling the unhealthy heads. If it smells rotten then its too late. You can always try to dip it in Furan-2 to prevent infection.
