| Re: How do you tell if an Acro is dead?
Do you have a pic of the Acro?
Does it feel like it has tissue on the skeleton or does it feel like a piece of live rock?
Usually when a SPS is dead it is white, or over gown with Algea and then has a brown color. Unless it is overgrown with Coraline algae that is green, but that usually isn't a bright green color.
Can you see small polyps on it? It may take some time for them to come back out after acclimation to your tank and lights.
