Anything wrong with this Acro?
 
My first healthy Acro. Some browning, but I think it was in places that didn't get any light. Is this a early sign of bleaching or RTN?

As you can see I am getting some extension. It has only been in the tank for 24 hours.

looks fine to me!

RTN...you actually see tissue falling off the coral...frag it to save it...turns white
STN...slow change of colour to white...frag it
Both types typically start bottom up
Yours is okay

Thanks guys. I figured it was okay, but the little bit of brown made me nervous.

Thanks again.

The only problem I see is that its not in my tank :wink:

They can turn brown for a bit I had some do that but turn back later on after they get used to your tank.
I find acros to do this a fair bit more so than monti's.

Oh gosh, just wait till you guys see the colonies Phil and I picked up from another local reefer!

I don't know if I have enough epoxy to mount them all :biggrin:

I'll be taking some pictures tonight and posting them. I'm way to paranoid though, I was starring at one for 15 minutes last night after the lights were out because I thought it was RTNing from the tip down. I was going to frag it, but instead turned on the acintics and realized it was a purple tip...
