Here's a nice piece of echinata I got about maybe 5 weeks ago. I took the photos exactly 4 weeks ago and for the past two weeks it's now develop a Ice & Fire like coloration with blue tips.

You got to get that acro crab out of there. He will eat your entire acro then move to another and eat it. This is the pest variety of acro not the symbiotic one. The best way to get him out IMO is with a turkey baster, blow him out of there towards the sand and then get him on the sand. Easier said than done, it took me days to get all three I had in my acropora's. See picks I took:

 

Hairy with black claws = BAD

I got him out after this, he had been chased into this acro by my attempts to get him out of another acro, he did this in a day or two.

Here's my first sps ever.

The bare skeleton was like that when I got it. Not really sure what I'm doing, but the polyps are out so I'm assuming I'm doing something right? Lol

 

It was a free frag so there wasn't much of a choice. Thought I would give it a try since I haven't had SPS before

How long would it take for an acro to regrow around the base? Given I've only had it for like a week or two. I think it was a fresh frag which could explain why the base is just skeleton.

Damn rehype thats some bada$ colonies!! It looks so clean!!!

 

Thanks alot man!

 

My Green Slimer isn't as dense with polyps as yours. Is that a problem or just the individual frag?

 

Its not a green slimer its an Acropora Abrolhosensis.
