Aussie Acans not looking too good

Please help! Your help is appreciated. As you can see from my crappy picture my ACAN of 3 months is regressing for some reason. The bottom is is regressing but not sure if you can see from the pic but the top one has more on the right side. So it seems to be doing OK but I want to make sure it does not continue to disappear, any ideas?
Parameters checked today:
Ca - 460
MG - 1400
Alk - 7.9 dkH
Salinity - 1.025
Pho - 0

Tank is 3 years old and I have 4 more colonies that are doing great. I believe the light and flow are good...

Thank you again for your opinion.

I wouldn't be sure what is going on with it, maybe something bothering or stinging it, but whenever i had issues with any coral if i could get it out of the tank easily i would always do a cautionary dip just in case. My only two issues were with two acans, i don't know if it was the dip that worked or if it cleared it on its own but i did it anyways in case of bacteria or a pest.
 
As Art13 suggested a dip couldn't hurt. Have you tried supplemental feeding it something like blackworms or fauna marin LPS pellets to see if it may be a feeding issue?

Thanks for the replies! I am positive nothing is stinging it just because of it's location. Also, I target feed it all the time and she plumps right up when I do (in fact just finished). It will be too hard to get it out and then back again. I could definitely get it out but never back in the same spot. :( I guess that doesn't matter if it dies. It seemed a little more stressed tonight after feeding. What's just so weird is everything else is kicking A22.

Thanks again for your replies, guess I gotta try a dip tomorrow.

Any other ideas?
