Acro turned white overnight.

How did you acclimate and were they introduced under bright light?
Acclimation is extremely important and under dim/blue lights lower 3rd to mid tank safest level to begin with then bring them up slowly

Acclimated them per UQ's website including the dip. Float them, pour them in a container, mix 50/50 with my tank water. Add dip meds and Turkey baste frags. Then put into tank.

Lights were off for 4 hours before coming on.

Hmmmm- did you add bag water to the tank after acclimation?

No, I had all the corals in a big tub. After the dip. I dipped them in a container of my tank water and then put them into the tank.

That's weird. After all your answers, all left would be a temperature difference which I doubt or PH reaction which acclimation should have taken care of

Yes very weird. Everything looking good as of right now. Some corals seems little fluffier after lowering the Intensity 5% and changing the spectrum.

UQ gave me store credit on the Acro that turned white. They asked me to keep them informed on the Birdnest as well.

The Birdnest nest looks to be slowly recovering its flesh. I'm being optimistic and think it will recovery. I've been snapping photos daily to monitor their growth.

I also finished the "Chasing Coral" documentary and it was very very good. Thank you for the recommendation.

Give the birdnest some time. I had a similar issue but if your tank parameters are good, it will grow back quickly. I would be more concerned if the tissue necrosis was at the base. Here is how mine started and is now...
