Hi guys, my tank officially became a mixed reef tank like I've always wanted after I added this Ancropora and a stylophora about 2weeks ago. Anyway yesterday I just saw this white spot on the edge of two of the polyps. At first I thought it was a stain from the sand cos he was still acclimating on the sand bed so I tried to dust it off but it wouldn't come off so I tried to clean it off by picking off the speckle when I realised it's part of the baby's skin... now I'm worried is this a sign of growth or is my baby sick? Below is a picture of the acro. As a bonus does anyone know what specific acro this is? My LFS just said acro and when I tried to research there's a whole bunch with this color...lol. thanks for your help.

It’s too small to tell, but doesn’t look like typical growth. At the moment don’t panic and see what happens, its the tiniest dot at the moment.

Polyps are out on the rest of it which is a good sign.

Might be the skeleton showing thru. I wouldn't worry, even if it was: a healthy specimen will grow new tissue over that spot in no time.
