I guess I'm going to start a progression thread as well. Hoping I see some amazing growth!
Red dragon (has little to no color right now. But I can see some nice polyp extension.)

It has a faint pink color that's hard to pick up with this iPhone. I'm sure it will be fine. All the corals I get from this guy are always kinda white. They always color up nicely in my tank.

Very nice looking coral if it colors back up for you

What would cause a coral to turn white like that? Was it like that when you got it or did this happen after you put it in your tank and that just kinda made it go into shock or something??

Thanks!! It was like this when I got it. Acros in my tank tend to be darker but vibrant. I think it's because my skimmer sucks and I hve more nutrients in my system than most sps keepers.
