Went to a store today having a big clearance sale. Had this marked as Yellow Cap. Can anyone tell me what it might be? Yellow scroll?

I do not know, but you will likely kill it half-submerging it like that. The tissue in the sand will die more than it already has and then slowly work it's way up the rest of the coral. I would frag off the dead spot and get it out of the sand.

Thanks....the bleaching is from the store. They had a gobby that kept throwing sand on it. I have it just above the sand line in my tank
