Scoly showing skeleton

[musel101]

I need some help so the Scoly I purchased from the store was not showing its Skeleton. When I was opening up the bag to put it in a tank I noticed it started showing its skeleton my guesses when I was transporting it to my house it might have gotten stressed out. So my question is should I just not move it at all leave it in my tank set it and forget it? Will it get better? Should I feed it to make it happy every day? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you in advance

I would target feed it something meaty a few times a week and make sure it’s not getting blasted with flow.

I appreciate it most of my tank is a low flow tank I have coralline algae everywhere I do 30% water changes every week religiously so I know it’ll be fine in my tank. Would this be considered polyp Bail out?

I would set it and forget it, let it acclimate to your tank. They are pretty easy to keep. Give it a week before you feed it.

PS-you should never feed the coral every day, they cannot digest that fast, the food will rot inside of them and kill them. Feed only once every couple of days.

Assure there is not sand getting on it and irritating it. Pic is a little dark but often they suffer tissue recession than tissue loss. It is due to stressors such as (things to check) :
Too little flow
Too little light
Temp too warm (77-79)
High salinity
high nitrate and/or phosphate (range 15 and phos .04-.08)
alk low (range 8-11)
calcium too low or high
Mag low (range 1300-1350)
