whats a high temp for acans?

Ricky - if he has an issue with bugs - wouldn't this be happening to ALL of his acans? It seems to only be happening to the ones that are light in color, nor are they placed near each other - they are on opposite sides of the tank.

whats a high temp for acans?

I am also curious about this.

 

[jerl77]

Looks more like dying... Try a %30 water change and move them to a low area with medium to low flow and light. Do not target feed them for now. See how that works. Oh and keep them away from other corals and crabs/shrimp.

tryed water changes try turning down the vertch powerhead

update tested water with new test kit all good still
i removed 7 acans from the tank that were in bad shape all other look great right now i will see what happins in the morning

hey

this also happened to me and wat i found out was wrong with my corals was that my salinity was way to low and i had too much iodide in my tank

 

[Omar]

do you feed them? if so what?

 

[Zuska]

i was also going to say all your other acans in the back look healthy. and do you feed them at all? try putting it in a lower light area. i had a problem with my pink acan also.
