Millipora?

[Reef runt]

hey

i got a acropora millipora last saterday and it apers to have no poylps , i can see a couple here and there but there not anything like 'normal millis'.

There a acro crab inside the acro its the white one with a black band going though its eyes.

could this be the cause?

sorry you would'nt be able to make out the coral if i took a pic :( , its showing a bit more polyp extiension than what it was when i got it . All the rest of the sps seem fine showing polyp extention growing.

any chance that temp has been fluctuating at night when central heating/halides etc off?
whn our boiler died last week we had no heating for six days.
during that time my tanks temp dropped 4 degrees overnight the first night and all my milli's looked a bit shocked for a few days....strangley enough all other acropora and montipora were not affected in any way.

MH's might be causing the temp to go up and down but no more than from 25-26
