It looks pretty browned out. What sort of lighting do you have? This often happens when they're under PC lighting.

Its under the solaris LED hood. It did have about a 7 day period of no light though...during a failure when I was away...that killed off some other corals, but this is still there...it appears to be more orange on the outer edge, could it be working on coming back?

these SPS are pretty hardy,
this "red" monti came back from nothing but a few barely noticable blotches of color, to a full shelving fat coral.

here is what a healthy orange cap in my tank used to look like.

hey noob. No I dont have any leathers in my tank. If youre looking at that last pic, its A. Caroliniana, a deepwater acro. Its just a little fuzzy in that picture.
Got it from Oceans Below here in West Palm.

They are extremely hardy corals. I would say they are more hardy than some softies. It will color back up in the right conditions.
