Need help w/ acan

[thamnasteroid]

My acan (micromussa) has been a little irritated for the past day or two. I need help with why and how to correct it. I’m guessing it has something to do with my alkalinity or phosphate and nitrate.

Has it looked that way for the whole 48hrs?
What happened with your PO4 and Alk?

It has looked like that since at least last night.
I don’t know what has happened with my phosphates and alkalinity yet; I am going to test my water right now.

If it’s just that one coral in your tank that’s irritated, don’t overreact. The Acan looks ok, just mad at the moment.

When acans are acting weird, feeding them some powdered type foods could be beneficial

Turns out, my alkalinity was REALLY low, at like 5, so I raised my alkalinity up. Let’s see if this helps.
