I acually think it's Bleached but it will get it's color back with good water quality and the right light, Iv Bleached quite a few of them and they end up looking just like that, Seem to take alot longer to regain color then sps do but it will for sure.

IMO I'd rather it stay white... It's different lol but the guy I got it from ordered it and it stated online it's main color was white so idk

I have something similar in my tank as well. LFS told me it was a Euphylia when I got it about a year ago. It's still the same color. And now has 3 heads. I don't think the color is going to change on mine.

That's what I thought as well... But I trust my coral supplier and I take his word for it. He knows a lot more than I do

It is a euphyllia but does look like a bleached torch. The color does look unusual bleached. But it needs to get back its normal color to survive. I did buy a single head of what i thought was a frogspawn. 2 years later and now over 15 heads it seems to be a grape coral.

I just thought it was normal. He had about four other heads of it that looked exactly the same that he just got in not too long ago. What are some things I can try to do to get its color back?

It will on it's own. I have seen some euphyllia that were pale clear flesh with pale tips. I bought one like that years ago. The tips are now bi-colored. Some are green and some are light blue. But either way it will recolor as long as it is healthy. Until then i would keep low med light. And it will need feedings if bleached it will have trouble creating photosynthesis.
