Need medical help with acan!!!

[FrostyKevin]

Ok, so I recently nearly melted all my acan polyps under intense light by accident.

About 2 of them died so far, but I'm not sure about the others.

The outside rings are thin and white, but the centers are still full of color. And they're not eating any of the mysis I put in.

I'd shade them as much as possible and keep trying to feed them. I think dipping them in anything could just stress them worse.

 

[FrostyKevin]

Ok, but how do I know if they're still alive?

 

[fish&corals]

if they are lords they will fill up with water after they are done being ****** off .. but def put them in some shade .. what kind of lights are you running and the size of your tank ??

 

[FrostyKevin]

Par 38 over a 2 gallon. I'm not sure if they are lords. They are fruit punch acans from dknuckles.

 

[fish&corals]

are you feeding them ?? what kind of filter system are you using ?? are you dosing and if so what are you dosing with ??

 

[FrostyKevin]

I tried feeding them, but they seem too stressed to eat right now. It's a carbon, mechanical, and bio filter that came with the system. It's the fluval spec. I'm only dosing trace elements and calcium.

The acans seem to be swelling up. What's going on?

Any photos?

I would keep them away from any itense light or corals that could bother them. Try not to move them alot I notice alot of corals do not like getting moved. Do not force feed it and let it recover. Also try keeping it out of any turbulent or high flow areas.

acans puff up when not ****** off or eating, kinda like a lobo or chalice.

 

[FrostyKevin]

It's sort of puffed up right now, and I haven't fed it either. It puffs up on and off. It seems like it puffs up when the light is not on and un-puff when it is on.

Can we get a full tank shot? Have you checked your phosphates lately?
