I have been quite busy lately, so my tank has not gotten a lot of attention other than feedings, dosing, and a biweekly water change. Everything is doing great in the tank ... everything but my Acans
I have lost this one, and at first I just blamed it on random coral loss (it didn't look the hottest when it arrive via mail):
And now this one is is not as inflated any more, and has become a more translucent red:
And a frag from Mark is not fairing too well either
The only one looking OK is:
(BTW, the above pictures are all from about a month ago)
They have always been on the sand, under 300W total MH light (2 150W lights).
I don't think it is light shock, as the rest of my corals are doing great. In fact I have a favia that is going bonkers on expansion. But just to be safe, I moved the Acan's to a shadier spot. They had been eating fine when I first got them. Now, I think only the brown/green one is still eating.
Am I missing something in keeping these? Or are these going to be a coral I just can't keep for some odd reason? (In I previous tank I could not keep xenia ... yet this tank it is growing fine).
