worried about my red lobo. brain coral

[bmkindig]

i just bought a red lobo while i was on vacation and i packed it in a cooler with a pump runnning is it could get continuious air flow and during the 14 hour drive home the water temp got warm (didn't have thermometer with me) and i put it in my tank last night and today it looks like it lost its color it went from a deep red to a pail pink and looks like it's dieing. what can i do?

Sounds like shipping stress and high water temps. I would just place it in a shady spot and give a few days and see what is does. If it will eat try to spot feed it small meaty foods.

give it some time, it should be fine. if it was just a fade in color it should come back.
