first acro

[jdezek]

This is my first piece of acro that I got so im not sure how its suppose to look. I've had it about a week and a half, and this is all its looked like.

Well, it does look an acro, and it looks healthy, too. Keep your parameters as stable as possible and keep the nutrients as low as you can. Hang in there.

My guess on species would be Acropora squarrosa http://sdmas.com/corals/696.php

Don't be stingy on the water flow.

Is there suppose to be polyps that come out of it or no?

 

[Bugger]

add amino acids if it is shutting down red sea energy works great what are your nitrates at?

Yes ,it should have polyps. It's just stressed right now.Must do everything right and keep fingers crossed.

Some species of Acropora only extend their polyps at night, and some only during the day.

 

[jdezek]

It looks like the picture of the white and pink Acropora squarrosa it has really tiny polyp looking tips on it....are those the polyps?

 

[alford35]
