Are you never get any coralline algae? What is your house keeping that can maintain such a clean tank...

Very nice reef. Bank zeolite always gives great opportunities for coral colors.
The video is not very visible polyps in Acropora, and little growth points, tell what is the reason?
Can be stressful? Water?
What sechas situation? Thank U.

There are two angelsfish in the tank; so one can assume polyp extension is going to be far less.

Yes, The tank have pretty coralline algae, in the back glass and the rocks:

The unique cleaning work I do is clean the sides and front crystals one or two times each week, and back every two months .... it stays clean for the first month, but in the second month coralline begins to appear. It is during that first month when I take for general photos, so you always look so clean i the photos... but here you can see how it is after two months of being cleaned, and just before the next cleaning:
