Hi all. I bought this frag a week ago. Seemed to be doing ok where I put it but last day or so polyp extension doesn't look as good.

I know white tips means it's growing but the actual.... not sure what to call it... skeleton let's say... also seems quite right. Is this bleeching or is that growing as well?

Any thoughts or ideas welcomed.

Thanks. Steve.

ps. Looking at the picture... it's not actually as bad as it looks in the photo but the skeleton is still quite light.

Tough to tell from that picture. Maybe another or from a different angle. I do see some PE.
 
The lights have gone out but this is now. All the red polyps you can se that are closed do actually come out, they just don't look as plush as a few days ago and the white seems whiter. Not sure if it's growing or dying

I've just moved it down a little bit just in case the Radions are too bright. Although they're only on about 20% overall brightness on AB+
