Do you know what kind of lighting it was in before?
Did you light acclimate it? How close is it to the lights? What are your phosphate levels? What are your magnesium levels? Whats the salinity? Temp ? Caps are usually pretty tolerant and resilient, I would move it down from the light for awhile and see if it recovers

Phosphate levels are at zero and sal-1.024. I do no test for mag. the temp is about 78degrees. I have it placed about half way down my tank. I do not know what kind of light it was in before. I checked for nudies and did not see anything.

Move it down for awhile, it does look like it was once orange. I had one like that given to me and left it on the bottom for awhile and it did recover
