Your acro still seems like it has pretty good polyp extension, though I think you should watch it as I do think it's stressed. They release their zooxanthallae and look bleached like that, they may or may not regain it provided the source of what's stressing it is removed.

Don't apologize for asking questions, were all here to learn and help each other :biggrin:. I agree with Doug, gotta get that Mg test kit to see where your levels are sitting.
