Algae on Acropora?

[LiquidCache]

So about three months ago I acquired an almost dead blue tipped acro colony. Dipped it in coral revive and threw it in my tank. The first pic is the day I got it.

It came back pretty strong, and seems to be coloring up. It has a bit of polyp extension too. I moved it a little higher up every few weeks, now it's in the top section of the tank. Hopefully in a few months it will have all its color back.

The only thing I'm concerned with is on a few spots it looks like it's growing GHA. Around these spots it looks black, like its dead. Should I just snip these off?

Thanks in advance.

Yes and yes.

Nice job reviving it. Yes cut off the dead. I would even cut off a 1/2 inch of the live to make sure u got it all. If it is growing good again it will heal up quickly.

Good luck

Yup gotta snip those ends off. Getting rid of the dead stuff will help it heal back faster.
