It really doesnt look too good, it looks like its pretty badly bleached. They are usually a green, yellow or red color. Its going to take quite a bit of work to get it back, and they can be a demanding coral anyways. Make sure you are spot feeding it a few times a week with cyclopeses or similar. It is a super slow eater so you are going to want to cover it with half a soda bottle while it feeds.

Good luck! They are beautiful corals. Yours doesn't look too bad. It may be just a tan color morph.

Could also be the light washing out the colors on it. But that's just a guess on my part.
When it comes to feeding flower pot's, Stuff like frozen Rotifers or cyclops is the better choice. They also seem to like the Reef Snow from Brightwell Aquatics.
