Acros showing white

[bigjune08]

Hello I am trying to understand if my acro is dying, stressed or simply growing. This is my first acro, and I’m still relatively new ( just under a year) in the hobby.

Are you referring to the white at the tips? If so, that is new growth. It's hard to tell in that picture though due it being so blue. The pocillopora on the left side looks to have new growth on the tips. The acro appears the same.

I have to respectfully disagree. I’m no SPS expert but to me it looks like tissue regression unfortunately.

A picture with white lights will help, its too blue to tell.

Thank you for responding. It’s more so just below the tip

Ok, it was hard to tell if that was a new growth or not in the picture.

Ok, I am going with @FrugalReeferJon .
The tissue is receding from those areas.
What is your PAR?
Have you checked parameters lately?
How is your flow?

I turned my par down due to algae growth on the rocks. My phos was a little high a week ago but now that is in check. Everything else is right where it should be according to my LFS. I had it tested Sunday and today I noticed to tissue issue

thats tissue necrosis. your guess as to why is as good as any body's at this point.

Both. However after doing a test last night my alk dkh, was through the roof and my salinity as well. I’m doing. Water change today and monitor it.
