Acropora Bleaching?

[groves1989]

Hey all,

I bought this frag from my LFS last week and the bottom is a full green. Is this bleaching? Should I cut this section off?

Any information is appreciated!

Unfortunately not that I’m aware of and the shops around here are consistently overpriced even when compared to WWC or TSA.

Must be a reef club down there...
Found a few....

Yea I would think so, I’m going to have to do some digging and find one.

Ita a newer system but I was reading somewhere the other day about the green on acro skin being some kind of small oval/pear/seed lookimg thing that eats away at it....not aefw but something else. Could of course just be algae as well. I'll look for the link.

Any locals in your area that grow sps?
That's a good way to get some rest pieces.

VG, your moving down there soon, right?

Speaking of locals, how local are you to Fairfield county? I have acres of stuff to sell give swap.

I'm about an hour from there. Just south of middletown.

You’re talking about Ostreopsis dinoflagellates. Definitely a possibility but no brown strings as would be typical for that.
