Acro with white polyps

[Zero Nitrates]

I picked up this acropora with white polyps this weekend because I thought it was unique.

Anyone have pics of acropora with white polyps?

I once had a Red Planet bleach out to a white and the polyps were still out but white too
and this is the only reason I did not chuck it and it's back to normal, just goes to show
Do Not through away colors until they are a color of Algae Green, purple this thing stayed white
for 5 weeks. nice piece didn't mean to ramble on ;)

I was thinking the same thing. It might color up after it gets healthy. This pic is crappy but the base is maroon and the tips yellow. Might be a fox flame in poor condition? Of course I kinda like the idea of white polyps.

I’ve got an Acro that I believe is a “Blueberry wine Acro” that has white looking polyps.

A Horrida Acropora has white polyps like in the picture, could also be a Tort.

That’s it. Thank you @Salty1962

White polyp Horridas are awesome.
If you can keep the polyps fully extended and snow white, there's no other coral like it.

In the wild--

Wow! That pic is amazing!

Looks like snow on a Christmas tree.

Here is one that I had a long time ago (12 years), really stunning purple with white polyps.

I just got a frag of Horrida not too long ago, definitely a nice white pyloped coral!

Here's a branch of my horrida..........can't wait for this coral to get large enough to make a bold white colony among all the other colors.
