It's probably a bleached red cap. They can survive in pretty low light so put it off the the side, keep Alk stable (it's too high for my liking, but that's another conversation) and it will most likely darken and recover. Once it's healthy you will be trimming it on a regular basis.

Thank markalot
 
Agree with mark, just be careful you dont give it too much light, plating montis are pretty hardy so theres good chance it will pull through.
