Bought this acro 2 months ago. He has gotten larger but I do not notice many polyps & there is discoloration. It was pure white when I placed it into tank.

My tank is Fusion 10

Aqua Prime HD
Stock return
Hydor 240
In Tank basket with floss, seachem matrix bio, & chemipure blue

Also have a nanoskim wood stone skimmer

Ca around 430
Temp 78
Salinity 33
Alk 12
Ph 8.2
Mg seems high 1550-1600

All other coral appear fine & my 2 new monti frags are growing well.

Any advice is much help and possible ID.

Thanks!

Unfortunately that piece is gone :(

No polyps at all and is bleached, the color you see is algae growing over the coral skeleton.
