My acro new coral tip are growing but coming out white and have no color. Growth is good but the color isn't there.
Not sure why, could they be bleaching out ?
 
New growth tips are white before the coral flesh so to speak covers it's bones. :) Be happy, your coral is growing.
 
That's normal. Zooxanthellae hasn't fully covered the new growth. It takes a couple of days for it start coloring up. On some corals the white is more pronounced than others. On my red dragon the new growth is super white and on others it's not as bad.
