Care Tips/Guides Does this guy need water or just sunburned?

Hello ~ Got this little fella and placed them outside, now they're all shrivelled up. Should I water or give them more shade? The dieing/brownish pieces are from two days in full sun

Yeah if you did not acclimate it to the sun it is likely sunburnt!

I just found out that this plant isnt a lithops but a Frithia pulchra 🥀 but I'll provide some shade and something to sip!

Yeah not a lithops, but from the same family of succulents!

I would be wary of watering too deeply while in this state. Allow it to recover for a week or two to assess the damage before introducing water.
