Branching Acropora Coral bleaching?

Ok so I've had this Acropora coral for about 3-4 weeks, water levels and perameters are good. But it's slight looking like it's dying/bleaching the yellow brightness glow of it is starting to retract on the tips where they are becoming white/brown instead of the bright yellow. Any advise in how to save this guy?

I may put him in front of a power head as he maybe but getting enough flow but he's been right close to the return pump near the top of the tank this whole time.

Just little unsure why this us happening. If anyone has had any similar thing happen please advise of a solution.

Thanks.

Tanks 3 months old. Water is looks great. ph 8.2, nitrites/nitrates are 0. ammonia 0 etc.

You dsid tips are bleaching or losing tissue? If tissue, alk. Swing is a candidate.

 

I thought it maybe the coral growing but doesn't look like it. Tips are turning white. From yellow. The whole coral is yellow. So I guess tissue... Did you see the pic? I may have to get an alk test kit. What's swing?

 

Are you sure that is not a frag of branching Hydnophora? You're most definitely going to need alk, ca and magnesium test kits.

 

I think your right. It is a Hydnophora

I've been trying to find out what it was lol yeah I will have to get them test kits and figure out what's maybe upsetting it. All my other corals are doing great.

Green torch coral
Green Polyps
Lordhowensis Coral
Green eyed cup coral

 

A pic without all the blue light will help. Alk swing is your alkalinity changing drastically throughout the day and not being stable. You honestly shouldn't keep any corals without proper test kits.

 

I have test kits for Ammonia, PH, Nitrate, Nitrite... Going to get the others today. I'm new to the hobby.

Here is a pic. U can see what I mean.

 

That's tissue necrosis. Check your alk, mag and calcium soon.

 

Looks like burned tips to me. Probably an alk. swing.
