Rookie mistake. Have you done the same?

Here’s a picture I took on 2/10. The tips are starting to turn purple. The acro is on its way to a recovery!

Here’s a picture I took on 2/3 for comparison:

I did this recently with a princess peach acro from TSA. I put it in ~450 micromoles immediately, not thinking at all. It didn't bleach immediately, but a lot of color left quickly and the polyps retracted for weeks. Oddly enough, it has been encrusting... so, i decided to leave it.

Coral is still somewhat pale, but the polyps are coming back out, and the base is still getting larger...

These animals are quite a bit more resilient / adaptive than we give them credit for.

I hope your tenuis colors up super nicely! The polyps out looks pretty reassuring.
