Is my Acan dying?

Dw79 · Jan 20, 2020

Picked up an Acan about a month ago and all was going well. About 2 weeks ago it closed up, but still had feeders out at night. Last week it started looking rough so I moved it to the bottom thinking it was an issue with light and flow. Now the centers are turning a greeny brown color and looking worse.
Salinity 1.025
Cal 430
Alk 9
Mag 1275
Nitrate 5
Phos .25
Sorry for the poor picture

IMO it’s going to do better on the bottom so you may just need to give it some time, I would suggest you drop your Alk down a little to around 8 or even a little less.

Ok, will give that a try.
Thank you

WHAT’S YOUR MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE WITH A CORAL THAT LOOKED LIKE IT MIGHT NOT MAKE IT?

I’ve seen a dramatic comeback. I would have sworn it was a goner

A slow recovery, and it got back to looking healthy

It came back some, but never looked as good as it used to

I tried to save one, but it didn’t make it

Mine is still struggling...no comeback yet

I’ve never had a coral in serious trouble

See, this is why I don’t keep corals
