Acropora not coloring up, any tips?

My Acropora frags have been in the tank for about three weeks now, but they're not showing any color. Water params are good, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 5 nitrate, 8.2 pH, 420 calcium, 1300 magnesium. Running Radion XR15s at 60% intensity for 8 hours. Any ideas what's missing?

Re: Duncan Frags

Trying various approaches due to the rapid tissue loss, willing to test anything at this point.

Re: Duncan Frags

I've had this frag for over a month now and I'm still stumped - pests are my best guess, but I just can't seem to spot anything, day or night.

Re: Duncan Frags

I decided on 4ml per cup for about 10 minutes, we'll see how that goes. Found something interesting - an amphipod got tangled in the tentacles today. Noticing a lot of activity with copepods and the like around these corals lately.

Re: Duncan Frags

Looking for a Bayer Complete dosage for dipping - what have you guys used in the past?

Re: Duncan Frags

It's getting around 125-150 par, and there's a Sinularia nearby, along with my other Duncans.

Re: Duncan Frags

I'm still a bit new to corals but having some luck with my Duncan, might be worth considering another dip, maybe try Bayer Complete this time around

Re: Duncan Frags

Here's what I managed to capture - the 3rd head is now on its way out.

Re: Duncan Frags

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely look into doing another dip, maybe with Bayer Complete, see if that helps turn things around for the 3 headed frag.
