Dead or alive?

[kkeller416]

So i had a low alk problem...i raised it to quick and lost some corals..
This big orange cap bleached..there is a faint pink color on the edges..
Is there any chance it could come back? Or should i cut my losses and take it out of the tank.
This also happened to a gorgonian.. It lost its color but it still has polop extensions...

It’s very possible
They’re more resilient than we think

Chances are the algae will kill what it is on/that part is dead. You may need to frag off what is not covered in algae and cut some of your losses. I wouldn't say it is a complete loss though.

The bottom section looks salvageable and some of the pedals on the top.

I agree with Tim. Frag off any living portions before the algae takes over otherwise it'll be a complete loss.
