New Brain Coral, Help plz.

[raseri]

I bought this small brain coral when we were down in Florida, a few days ago, and now it's starting to bleach. I don't know what kinda of Brain Coral it is, and I would love to know. To perhaps figure out why it is bleaching and to maybe save it. We think it might be the tempurature of the water, so we lowered it to 78 degrees, it was 83 before. If anyone could help me figure out what kind of brain coral it is I would very grateful.

what kind of lights do you have, how big is the tank, where is it in the tank, what fish/inverts are in the tank(but i think that would be kinda obvious if a fish were killing it.)?

It's a 55 gallon, the lights are t5s, all we had in there were some hermits and snails, it was in a medium area of the tank for getting light. It did end up dieing, but I would still like to figure out more about the coral and possibly why so I can avoid any more dieing.
