So my acan got knocked off of his rock a couple nights ago by one of my dang turbo snails. I put him back in his spot and he has not puffed up. It has been probably 3 days. Should I be worried that it is dying? All of my water params are good to go, I test every 3-4 days and water change 10% weekly.
I did have some cyano that I was fighting earlier in the week and I did two water changes that equals about 30% of my total water. I split it up doing 15% and 15% two days apart. Do you think that could be contributing?

Pictures may help determine with any issues. A simple knocked over coral is generally not an issue unless it falls onto another coral or is left upside down for a few days.
 
If all that happened was that it was knocked over, it will be fine. Acans are pretty resilient
 
Yea I hope so. It's my favorite coral. It didn't land on any other corals but I'm wondering if since I placed it at a different angle, the lights are making it angry.
 
Well it looks like a pociliopara just behind it. Pociliopara are high light and acan is low light. If the acan is getting pociliopara par lighting. The acan will wither away.
 
That's interesting because the a can has been in that exact spot since I got it. He was doing great there until I found him at the bottom of the tank one morning. I put him back up and he has been like this. Also , my acans have all been fine in moderate to high light. Every one of them.
 
I have the same issue, my acan was doing well until got knocked off to the sand, head first. since then, has not doing well. I been moving him around , hopefully he recovers
 
Yea, my acan has finally come back from the depths! I hope yours does as well.
