I guess what I meant is, I don't think elegance corals bleach at the tips only or become white at the tips when they grow like SPS do. I'd imagine if they bleach, you'd see the whole coral bleach and become very light in color; and if the grew, it would get larger, not just the ends of the polyps.

What color were they when you got it? If they went from pink or green to white I would think that's bad. But if they went from being the same color as the base to white then it's prob happy and adjusted to your tank.
You might not get a lot of help from this sub forum. Most of the posters here don't keep a lot of LPS. You might have better luck posting in the LPS forum.hth

FWIW, new growth on a single polyp type LPS is prob going to look like the entire piece getting bigger. They'll build new skeleton under the flesh all around and the tissue will grow to match or possibly vise versa (idk). Either way growth will be a circumference/diameter measurement vs vertical length like on an encrusted stick.
