for what it is worth, when I bought Adam's fox off him it did the same thing for about a week, then it slowly started expanding over the next two weeks.. I kept mine under a overhang in the mouth of the cave so it only got indirect light.

Now direct.. now it is in the bottom tank and it recives direct light and is doing fine also.

Well today I turned the lights off for most of the day until I got home when I just turned one MH bulb on, I tilted the fox over a bit so it is as far under an overhanging rock as I can get it. I noticed since turning the lights on (1.5 hrs) that two parts of the coral seem to be trying to expand. The part that was pictured at the beginning of this post has continued to deteriorate and I'm sure will be bare skeleton in no time. Hopefully it doesn't continue throughout the whole coral.
