couple of white tips on acro

I've got an acro with a couple of tips that are white. I'd been busy for a couple of weeks and really hadn't looked closely at it and when I did the other night I saw this. (the one most visible is on the far right)



this is what it looked like 2 months ago:



there are still polyps on the tip and it looks normal except for being white (or kinda off white). what is up with this? is it a problem or just new growth in only a couple of places? from the 2 pictures it does look like a little new growth. maybe. its kinda hard to tell.

I had a similar concern recently that was addressed in this thread:

The consensus in my case was that it is new growth. Nice coral, by the way!
