Beginner Frag Donations for New Hobbyist Event

Quick question: my pulsing Xenia frag (it's light lavender color) never opened up after hours of sitting in my tank. Is this normal or is he dead?

As long as you can still see something there, its not dead. Xenia is a soft coral, so if it dies it will completely melt away and you won't see anything left since there's no skeleton. The frags were in a cooler all day which means they cooled off some and so they sometimes will take quite a while to open back up. Xenia is pretty hardy, so it should be just fine. Just give it some time!
