Over the past 3 months I have lost 3 acans to unknown causes. My acros, montipora, zoas, and other lps all look fine. All remaining Acans look great. Usually the acans is closed up and then starts to show tissue recession and before you know it coral skeleton starts to show and it's done. Parameters are salinity .026,Ph 7.8-8.0,alk 8, cal 420-440,no3 .5, po4 .06. These values fluctuate very little daily. My question is:
Are there any pests of acans or are there any diseases that afflict them?
Thanks
