My acan lord is not looking so well. Just got him last week, and now it's starting to look clear. The pink is still very flourescent, but it's not as puffy and the wrinkly mauve meaty part is beginning to look clear. I thought acans were pretty hardy. My other tank inhabitants: monti cap, monti digitata, blasto, zoos, pocillopora LPS, and SPS all look good. Well, not the xenia..he's healthy and pulsing, just won't propagate.
Does it not like bright light? I have 2x175W 10K MH and 2x96 actinic PCs. I have it in the lowest flow area I have in my tank and under some shade now.
So, here's the tank stuff:
74-76degF
CA: 420
Nitrates < 5
Nitrites 0
Ammonia 0
dKH was 7 last night...added buffer, back to 9.9 now
SG: 1.023
I have other LPS: blasto merleti, blastomussa, octopus, fox, and they're all blooming and happy.
What can I do to save this acan?
