SPS - Polyps, Tentacles or Tissue

[nyknicks2544]

The only reason why I didn’t think the acro is already dead is because what he described were mesenteric filiments. Those would be a feeding response, ergo not dead.

I looked up the mesenteric filaments and I believe they may be what I was seeing - especially considering it happens in response to feeding. I will confirm I get a similar response tonight through target feeding.

I still think the tips seem “off” or “burnt” on the coral and there is clearly some white spots / color loss that have been on it following shipping but I haven’t seen a massive growth in them other than on the tips.

Thanks for all the help everyone and taking a look! Really trying to do everything right in this hobby and be successful. Hopefully someday I’ll have some better looking coral pictures to share lol

If you don’t know the smell I am describing, you win.

Even healthy acropora have a weird smell.
