Pictures work for me.

That's from Unique Coral.com correct? Mine looks nothing like that, granted my Acro's are recovering from AEFW treatment. Mine is green and brown with hints of yellow and red. Pretty coral for sure.

Mine looks like this one

Yea it is. I got it from TCK as part of a pack a few months back. But it has since morphed into this and i cant figure out why. It has started to take of in growth recently as well.
 
Sorry i though i posted them, i see now i didn't.
7.7 DKH
400 calcim
1300 mag
Temp 78-79
No3 2ppm
Po4 .01-03
Sg 1.024



Looks good overall. I would consider raising ca to 420-ish and run a higher Sg. I run 1.026-.027 generally. But is it enough to morph coral color...doubt it.

Could be light source and par but again it's so small i wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Let it grow and see what happens.
 
That looks nothing like a shortcake but looks healthy so I'd leave it. Looks like it wants to turn into one of those yellow Pink Floyd or pacman lookalikes.
