First I would ask for a better discription on the tank specifics. For example, lighting, flow, placement of coral and your params? Also how long you have had the coral and where you got it?
Initially it looks as though the flow is fine as I think I see some polyps poking out. But lack of color tells me it might be experiancing some lighting shock.

Re: coral not looking good what to do?
Specifically what are your params? Be sure to check pH and alk.
Are there any other corals near by with similar issues?
When's the last time you did a water change?

+1 on the ph and alk test..if its not that then i would look at lighting..research the coral and see what its lighting and flow requirements are..
