What is happening to my Acans?! Help!!!

[scubakid3]

I have no idea what happened but after about 4 months off perfectly fine acans in my Nuvo 8, one just got up and quit on me! Another looks pretty bad as well. The first one was my really nice purple and green one but the next one is my FAVORITE dark green one. Look at some of my previous posts and you can probably see, but i will try and get some pictures up tomorrow. I tried putting the first one under 4 bulb T5s (they are under 8 watt LEDs right now) but that didn't do squat. The only fish i have is a red chromis. I used to feed the corals but that kind of dropped off. I REALLY want to save this one. Anything i can do?

Water parameters
PO4 = 0
NO3 = 10
Ca = 400
Alk = 10.4
Mg = 1350
Salinity = 1.025

I can't say until I see pictures. But I would try using Revive for a 10 minute dip. Its $15 if you don't already have it.

photo!! your calcium its not super low but its not hi ! acans love dkh around 8-9 i used kent coral vite to keep them until i stabilize my tank ! Another thing , if you feed them a long period of time and you stop feeding them thats bad for them!

The only thing I can think of is the falling off the feeding schedule. I am not a fan of those coral dips, if it is already hurting and you don't think it's a pest, sipping it will cause more stress. Good luck

Sounds like another coral, pest, or something like that may be bothering it. Water params aren't much of a deal (that I have found) for acans. I would either think it's just a bad acan or something pestering it...

You're using the IM oem light? You using the supplied glass lid? If so, that's likely part of your problem. Those lights aren't really good for anything at all and the lid makes it worse. I know you said you took one and put it under T5 but didn't mention how long you have been monitoring it after the switch. It won't be an immediate turn around.

Well i have the 8 watt LEDs running, but no lid. Almost everything does fine under them, including blastomussas. It has just been recently that these two have started "melting".

Here is a picture. The green ones are most recent. The other is in bad shape. Also, can anyone tell me what the green and purple coral is in the background?
