Is this coral dead

[Perthegallon]

Is this acro dead or it’s normal color? I just got it from world wide and I forget what it’s color was

Dead as a door nail, and with algae growth to boot.

Looks good to me. As long as its not white

Yeah I don’t think it would be dead in four days

Can you see polyp extension? This pic isnt the greatest.

 

[Perthegallon]

Ignore the hair algae that’s me doing some management control earlier

Well I just picked it up so I don’t think it will do that for a little

 

[Perthegallon]

It’s supposed to be a pinky tip acro

 

[Ben.QLD2]

Aaah, well if that algae isn't growing on the frag then that could change my response. Is there any bare skeleton? Unfortunately the natural colour (if it's alive) of that coral looks like a algae covered acro skeleton.

 

[Perthegallon]

I’m thinking it’s algae

Just take a wait and see approach.

 

[reeferpat137]

Well if it is a pink tip acro. It has the right color. The pink wont show up for a little. Id def remove the algae if possible

 

[Perthegallon]

Shouldn’t it be a bright green right now

Depends on your lighting and the lighting it came from. Also, how long it took to ship. Corals will lose color the longer they ship. Just give it time like @Ben.QLD2 said
