Or just prepare a a sticker note with one of our names and slap it one as soon as you get box and tell her it's from one of us
She might very well believe it if I said it comes from you. She know how many you’ve given me… ;)

Many things can pick at acans especially if it’s damaged.

I have first hand seen the following eat healthy acans

Filefish
Cardinal fish

Eat damaged spots on acans
Hermit crabs
Emerald crabs
Shrimp
Asterina starfish

The acan arrived like that? Or the spot developed?

If that skeletal ridge is overgrowth and nothing is attached you can file it down or snap it lower so the mantle can extend over it easier. Feeding regularly is needed also got new growth. Acans can eat a lot. Mine often eat Back to back meals in a feeding session. Soaking meals in aminos is supposed to help with regrowth.

Can you post a white light pic of that acan?
Yea it arrived that way, and I thought it was a barnacle at first. The rock it’s on it pretty porous and there was a hole right there with little hairs poking out. I picked down in there and dipped when I got it. I really thinking rock boring algae at this point. None of my little guys are picking at it.
