If the whole coral turned completely white then it'due south near likely dead IME. The brown your seeing could only be a dusting of algae. Just to be certain though you lot might desire to requite them a few weeks and run across if anything changes before you pull them.. GL.

I was gifted several frags the owner said they where perchance expressionless, and looked pretty much dead. Notwithstanding I treated them like any other frag and all but 1 is recovering.
My theory is if algae hasn't grown all over the skeleton then there is a take chances for recovery. That's assuming whatever caused its decline has been fixed

Yous can too odor the coral. If yous have every smelled a live SPS yous will know if the one you have is dead. The skeleton won't have that tissue aroma.
