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.
