Hi,

If the acro is thriving then the algae should pose a problem as the coral will quickly encrust over the dead bits but A. humilis isn't a particularly fast growing coral.

Hi tanzy,

that's what joe p told me too..he said leave it alone if it is growing and the tissue will grow over it...yup, humilis is a slow grower but so far it's got some growth already which i was rather surprised myself. ..that's why rather confused on the next course of action. will probably monitor it for a while more and see how.
