UPDATEDmore acans dead.
 

Well the count has got to be well over 30 i have 15 acans left out of the 46 that I used to have. its like the polyops is releasing from the skelton.:cry:

running any probiotic systems?

nope just kalk and carbon an phosban that is it

That sucks.. Wish I could help ya buddy.. But I have no clue.

I've lost a couple that way too, the polyps just peel off leaving one white skeleton?

When I have one doing that I give it a revive dip, cut off the exposed skeleton and put the colony into another tank. That usually works. I've found some big black worms in some of the rock while I'm cutting the colony's apart.. Maybe that has something to do with it... Or maybe it's the light? My water chemistry is basically the same in both tanks, but for some reason they seem to stop the die off once I switch tanks.

If it were me.. I would frag off all the dead parts, and even go one polyp into the good tissue, give the good parts a dip in revive( mix it a little light) and put the frags on a rack for a while so you can watch em.

I have lost a scolly recently and have one struggling. I have way too many little brittle stars, and once the polyp recedes a little the brittle stars move right into the skeleton..I've seen them even waving their little arms out of the corals mouth.. This can't be good. the dip will kill them too.

flat worms?

Add any new flow patterns or powerheads?

I simply moved one and it never liked the flow in the new spot. Lucky I lost only 5 heads.

I had a bad container of carbon(was very old) do the same thing to my Lps...

no man no flatworms

I'm using rox carbon Carmen

Really sorry you're still having issues. Wish I had something helpful to say.

BRS?

Me too. I think it's a disease that LPS can get. I've lost several LPS pieces over the years like this - last time it went through my tank I lost an open brain, both candy cane colonies, blastos and Acans (not all of them though, but any coral that got it would continue losing heads until it was gone). The weirdest thing is that the flesh would continue to look alive and well for some time until it basically disappeared - but it would look like they would recover if they could just regrow a skeleton, .. but I guess they can't.

Sorry to hear man it's very frustrating to go through this and feel so helpless. If you knew it was something you could fix you'd just fix it - I know that feeling all too well.

Hope it contains itself for you soon.
