have rigged up a temp tank for now and all affected ones are in there, including the ones that i were about to bin.
I've no way of controlling the params other than manually on this one so will have to check 3/4 times each week, so we'll see how it goes.

these have all been dipped and cleaned, it just reappears, with a bit of luck I can confine it to the temp tank now.

That looks like Brown jelly disease on at least on of your Acans.It can spread and reappear rapidly on all sorts of corals.I would also suggest researching Brown jelly disease and setting up a quarantine tank for them.I use Iodine dips whenever I see this happening.
Make certain that no other tank inhabitants are picking on them.This could be the cause retraction and the initial injury that invited infection.
