It doesn't look good whatever it is. Sorry, I could be wrong. But it looks unhealthy. An open brain coral that really not doing well or a clam on its way out?

Sorry I can't be more help but it almost looks like the skeleton is showing.

I bought my first 2 coral from him, I know I dont hv any experience but it was dead cheap IMO, I paid £30 for both, other 1 looks ok, and now I'm started to worry, hope I learn something from this.

That's a GSP or green star polyp which looks fine. What kind of lights and what size tank?

And don't stress it, everyday is a learning experience for everyone. No one is above learning something new or new trick etc. that's what we're here. We learn from each other and form a bond as hobbyist

No idea bout wattage as I bought it as second hand tank, there are 36 white and 6 blue on each lights. Is this good enough 4 this tank?

I would need to know the wattage. Like 3w per LED.
