question in regards to acans

woofu · 11/07/2009, 08:38 AM

ive had this 50+ polyp acan for about 5 months know... and they have looked beautiful until just this thursday... they look as if they are sunk in and a majority of them the mouths are open partially...looks like waste is coming from some of the mouth but is clear..which doesnt seem normal.. i did get a tang on wed.. and i bought some formula 2 pellets by ocean nutritian.. and when i added some to the tank i notice a few pellets had landed on this colony and they consumed them...from that time on they havent looked the greatest... i know it could be coinsidense, but this is the only thing in the tank that doesnt look normal here is picture b4

ill post a pic today of what it looks like when my lights come on

My flameback angel nipped on my acans... I had to return them. Maybe the tang?
