I think that Neverend has a good point. Your Haraella looks really dessicated - although there are fresh green roots coming along that look good. So it appears like it is trying to adjust to its new environment. Its just that the leaves look like they are losing too much water to the environment.

I would get a humidity meter and see what it says. In my experience, the trays of pebbles in water have little to no effect on humidity. If the humidity is really low, invest in a humidifier (which could also provide air circulation, bonus!) and your plants will thank you for it!

I will agree that Brassias like A LOT of light (because I'm so far North, that equates to all but full direct midday sun for me). I have been a bit more adventurous lately, but mostly I stick to orchids that "fit" with the environment that I have (cool, mid to low light) and this makes things much easier, and successful.
