    It has white base and purple tips. I thought it's on it's way out, but bought it anyway thinking that it may be natural colors. Is that some kind of pink mili? I do have reds and violet so colors on the pic is kind of redish.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    While white would be a cool color of acropora, a white acropora is most likely the result of the acropora loosing it's zooxanthellae.

    I see tissue and polyps which is a good sign.

    Hopefully it will color up nicely for you eventually, and maintain the purple tips.

    I just took a look on it under actinics and it does have pink fluorescent color all over the colony, so I hope it will recover. Polyps are out and they are white. keep my fingers crossed.
