Looks like an acro, quacks like an acro, but isn’t an acro: What is your experience with anacropora?

I have 2, TNT and The Thing. My TNT has grown a good bit since I got it a few months ago, but has faded into a very light pink, with pink polyps….it was a nice brick red. Not sure exactly what has caused this but it may have been getting too much light?

Since this thread has been revived, figured I'd post an update on my red anacro. Here it is today:

Def not an acropora. Doesn't like as much light or flow and a branch breaks every time i touch it. With that being said, I have a ton of golden rod frags that I can't seem to give away. It grows super fast.

It definitely made a nice comeback, especially once it was moved to the bigger tank. Absolutely love the shade of red it exhibits.

Well I will tell you, it made me want it! So do you have that in high par?

Definitely worth keeping in your tank. Pretty quick grower too. I actually have it in low PAR...front lower corner (just off the sand bed on a small rock)....PAR is around 120.

Perfect, this is my mid tank par., thank you
