Dying Acan

[matt7]

This acan was doing really well, looked great, then all of a sudden it started receding... anybody have any ideas why??

What kind of clean up crew do you have? I had along spine black urchin once that mowed over all of my acans in a single night and mostly killed them, it kinda looks like yours.

it's been up on my frag rack so nothing other than snails can even get to it.

Any recent changes before the necrosis?

nope everything has been stable. only change is i have been moving coral and fish to my new system.

Possibly to much light? You say it is up on the frag rack.

 

[matt7]

I don't think it's too much light, it's been in the same spot for 5 months and it was thriving before 2-3 days ago.

Could another nearby coral be irritating it? Zoanthids are pretty toxic and if they perceive a fight for real estate, they can put out a nasty whammy. Try moving it.

I just saw that you are selling an urchin in your other post, I'd put money in him as the rain your acan looks eaten.

huh didn't even think about the urchin... Well I just moved the acan frag to my new system so we'll see if it starts to recover over there....
