Xenia stung by Acan??

[Goldndoodle]

I put a 3 stalk Pulsing Xenia in my tank about a month ago. It has been thriving in there ever since. It has grown some in that time.

This morning I found an Acan I have on a frag mount pushed up against the rock that the Xenia is growing on. I'm assuming a hermit or snail pushed the mount up against the Xenia. One of the three stalks is now limp. Not quite retracted - as when they're retracted they look like a closed fist. It's reduced in size and drooping.

Did the Acan sting the Xenia?

Will the Xenia recover? Or is it a goner?

The Acan frag mount is now glued in place so it can no longer be pushed around.

It's not that easy to kill xenia, it should be fine in a day.

It is looking much better today. I'm still not noticing the polyps pulsing like they should, but it's not all drooped over at least. The polyps are all extended again and waving in the current.

What is your alk? If the Ph gets low they won't pulse as much.

It took them a couple of days but they're pumped up again and pulsing like they should. I gave them a little puff of Reef Roids yesterday while I was feeding a Flowerpot and my Zoos and they were pulsing like crazy.
