John,
I have watched LFS stores let sun corals die, by not knowing how to care for them... one store let them starve to death, I feel because they didn't feed it. Mine have a voracious appetite.
Another store had it in shallow waters with a metal hallide over it and I think it was scorched to death. The gray color just might be dead tubules from being burned by light ... I would love the chance to nurse it back to health.

Isolation tank is a good idea if you have one.
