Underside of acros are white

[Ericsnyder]

So I have a stag a bonsai and another green acro and they are all white underneath worried it is AEFW can anyone say yay or nah on this thanks!

Pics would be nice but it sounds like the bottom of the skeleton where there is no light.That's normal

 

[reefndude]

Shouldn't be white...pictures would help

 

[NicksMixedReef]

If you have LEDS then that is completely normal. But pics would help in giving an opinion

 

[AdamNC]

White on the bottom is not normal. Pale color and no polyps is normal if you have LEDs.

 

[StevenBell]

Even tabling acros?Iv got several large tables with good color and PE with pale undersides.

Pale color and no polyps is normal if you have LEDs.

Care to explain?

I'm running leds... My Acros full of color and polyp extension .. But it is normal for underside to turn white

An area not exposed to direct light is going to have less zooxanthellae therefore appear pale I would guess. My larger colonies were always a cream or pale colored underside. But without an image it just speculation as to what your issues is, you might be taking about exposed skeleton.

I used to think this was "normal", but for tanks running plenty of leds with good coverage shadowing is no worse than t5 or halide.
