That's bacteria, get it out and dip dip dip. Can you frag out the healthy polyps?

Not sure I can explain why that is happening. Sometimes colonies like that don't like any type of change. Water parameters, light, fish nipping at it.

If you don't mind fragging it into frags of 2-3 heads each, it will most likely come around and start growing again. More times than not that will help save your coral. After you frag it dip it in Revive to clean any infection or pest off it.

Hope it comes around for. It's a beautiful acan. The strips and color pattern is very nice.
