My acans suddenly don’t look so good

Do you have any hermits or emerald crabs in your tank?

No crabs at all, only snails. Crabs have caused me nothing but trouble!

For all three acans to show distress it's either chemistry or something nipping them.

My guess would be something changed with the chemistry. Maybe a snail died I would double check that.

Well I found this little guy hanging out on top of my acans. Hmmm

I would keep a close eye on that fish since your other corals are doing fine.

Caught in the act

Well my little yellow friends have gone back to the LFS. They made a bed out of my acans so they had to go. I’m going to keep an eye on them. They look a little better today. Hopefully the culprits have been found!

I would also check your magnesium level.
I have found acans to be a little more sensitive to lower mag levels. I strive to keep mine @ 1400 or above.

Thanks. They’re not putting their feeders out at night so I know they’re still bothered. I’m going to work on the tank this weekend. I really appreciate the help!
