JF Flame Acro

[hatfielj]

I have a frag of this that I got from Jason several months ago. Mine initially did okay, then started losing color. Shortly after that I found out my tank had AEFW, so I pulled all my corals (which were fortunately just frags) and treated them in QT and left the tank empty for over a month. While in QT, I thought for sure my flame acro was dead, it was all white, had RTN at the base where it had been encrusting and I ALMOST threw it away. But, I decided to give it a chance and placed it back in my tank a couple of weeks ago. Miraculously it is showing signs of recovery. Full polyp extension, color is slowly coming back, and it looks to be encrusting again! I'm so happy and hope it now has a chance to grow out. I'll post a photo in a few weeks when its hopefully looking alot better.

Mine just recently started to get the yellow tips back. Seems like it will only get them when it's happy.

Here is a top down I just took tonight. You can see the yellow coming back and new branches getting ready to take off
