Hi All,
Eric Borneman (Aquarium Corals) describes "white pox" as "randomly scatered pale blotches caused by patches of tissue loss..... as though bleach has been splattered on an otherwise healthy stand".
That is the closest description I can find for the pictures below.
I have attached a close of shot, showing good polyp extension and white growing tips..... I can only believe that the coral is otherwise healthy. The blotches seem to be concentrated on the main branch of the coral.
Please can someone help diagnose this, and suggest treatment.
I have another acro next to it, totally unaffected - and another at the oposite end of the tank, also unaffected. I have not seen any fish picking at it - in fact the fish rarely swim anywhere near it.... so I don't think it is fish nipping damage.
