I’m new to sps and have had a few sticks for about 6 Months. I’ve had my issues with too much light and fluctuating alk In the past. I’m trying to learn better what is normal growth tips and bad distressed tips on sps please provide pictures of both and discriptions for all to see. Some of these corals I think are normal some might be distressed Tips. Any help would be great. The photos are no tank light with just daylight so the flesh is easier to see.

My understanding is if the “whitish tips” have polyp extension your good to go. But the red planet had polyps out. But look rough.

Red planet acro it has both fleshed tips and very white tips. I’m a bit worried about these tips. Not sure if normal like the stag or these are burnt

Green acro sp. this one vexes me. The highest tip is perfect then white and chunky like this then perfect. Etc. it’s always changing and don’t know why. And he lower tip looks very pale

All look good except, possibly, photo #4. I don't see anything to lead me to believe you have a problem. So long as your parameters are stable and within acceptable ranges, let thing ride a bit before making any changes. Any change made should be done gradually.
