As i was moving my acan last night it started to shrink and mouth wide open. I know something stress this but he started to shrink a few days ago. My parameters are in check except for my alk which is a little under 8.

it looks like its on the way out.. if you have a coral dip i'd try that before tossing it. one of my acans developed some brown jelly. i coralrx dipped it and it stopped.

I also would try to dip then place into low light and flow till better. Keep trying to feed it so it can have a better chance.

So i did the dip and i think im a little late cause top part flesh is gone showing some skeleton. Mouth is a little bigger but still have its coloration. Did a 3-4 min coral revive then 1 min salt h20 bath then put in low flow and light.
