It seems my this Acro is browning out. He’s getting 300 to 400 par and my TSA Exquisite next to it is doing great. Any idea what’s going on?
DKH 9
Ca 450
Mag 1500
Nitrate 2.6
Phosphate .02

not all acros are the same when it comes to lighting/flow requirements. either there is something out of line in your water (trace elements), or its a lighting/flow issue(which could be unlikely unless you changed something recently as i do see some good amount of base growth).

that acro came with all the growth on the plug. well if it was to much light It would be bleaching right?
the acro next to it is getting about 212-250 par less than that one and it has shown growth and great color. both were put there at the same time
 
Need some closer/better photos. How long has it been in that position?
a month. I just now moved it to a different position cause everything else in the tank is doing great. some polyps are out. looked for pest and didn't see any. it my just be the flow/light combination its not liking. im not the pro just the only thing I can think of.

put it close to the sand, or on a rock, or lower. let it cool off a bit from all the moving around in the tank. once it bases out more, you can slowly try moving it up higher towards the light.

keep water parameters stable, as well as lighting/flow. it should bounce back!

If polyps are out and it isn't bleaching, leave it where it is for awhile. Some acros will take several months to acclimate. Moving it will most likely only stress it further.
