How does this SPS look

[Thor2j]

Had this about 2 months. Looks healthy to me but is a little colorless. It's a blue deep blue Mille from wwc. I'm new to sps so looking for some insight.

Did you buy that directly from WWC?

Corals can pale out from stress. Being shipped and put into a new environment is very stressful on corals. I would put it in a low to moderate light area of the tank with moderate flow. Leave it there for 2 weeks and see if it starts to color back up. If it does then I would slowly start moving it to higher light and flow over the next 2 weeks.

We need tank parameters. Alk,Ca,Mg,Phosphates,Nitrates, Ph, temp, salinity etc.

It's got a lot more polyp extension then when I bought it. It was a little bluer though when I got it from wwc.

I'm asking because that doesn't look like a mille.

+1 doesn't look like any millepora I've ever seen.

I agree. It looks more like this one: https://worldwidecorals.com/wwc-oceans-blue-acropora-5.html

Looks more like a stylo or porci. It doesn't look like it has radial corallites.

That's defiently it. Maybe I remember wrong by thought that's what it was. Thanks for correcting me. Have to look at my records again. It was a lot bluer when I bought it but wwc defiently has favorable lighting for whatever they are selling. Never was near that blue the day I got it.

I doubt that is the same. Your piece is smooth with no radial corallites. The WWC picture shows a different structure.

I think your frag looks perfectly healthy- whichever acro it is.
Looks a lot like the one in the posted link, it's just that they saturate the colors in the photo to make it look better.
With 0 p and 2 n, it could be a bit on the pale side.. a little hungry..
