Hello - my fluffiest, healthiest, acan out of about 7 acans in my 65g, suddenly died over the past 5 days. It was sitting next to 4-5 other small acan frags, which are all fine. All other acans are healthy looking.
I thought it was due to a small Lobo frag next to it so I moved lobo - but again all other frags OK.
I am battling some cyano and GHA, fyi.
Parameters are:
1.026/1.027 salinity - bringing back to 1.025
Nitrate 3ppm
Calcium 450
Alk 9.8
Triton results from 1 month ago with some deficiencies of Iodine, also showing Lithium and Iron levels higher: https://www.triton-lab.de/en/showroom/icp-oes/119194
I did a coral RX dip of the Acan colony yesterday. It seemed to perk up after that and I thought I was in the clear. Then woke up this morning to find more decay and slime.
Also did a 12g water change yesterday.
1) Should I just toss it out now? Don't want to crash anything else..
2) Doesn't look like I can frag off any healthy polyps at this point. All seem either dead or dying.
3) Should I put a bag of carbon in my filter sock?
4) Should I just chalk this up to a random death?
Thank you guys.
