Fish or shrimp that could be picking at them?

what kind of test kits are you using? are they still good (ie. not expired) - I have read a few stories where tests looked good but upon further inspection the test was useless.

See if you can borrow a kit from a friend to test your parameters. Is there any other issues in your tank (algae, other coral acting up?)

cheers;

What's mg at? Sorry to read more bad news man. Is there a skimmer on the tank right now?

Have you changed the lighting? maybe your water is too clean. I've noticed my acans do better in my tanks that aren't skimmed as much, which I guess means there are more nutrients in the water. Are you still getting feeding responses?

yes there is a SWC 160 cone on there now i have scaled down the skimmer . may be the water is to clean. the mag is around 1350 Brett

Perhaps that dufus is harassing them again.

Has anything changed in the last few days. Changed carbon or something?

any coral warfare going on ? stinging sweepers ?

Ya, didn't you put that tang back in?

Nope just running phosban took out the carbon and yes **** ass isback in there im going to be taken out him and the other tangs the sailfin and the orange shoulder

Well than that's your problem.. He's picking on them again. I had a purple tang that would nip at my acans. For the longest time I thought they were just receding, then I saw Him grab at a polyp. I took Him out and within a week the acans looked better.

Acans need to be fed. They require low light as well.

Try giving them frozen cyclopeeze and see what happen. If they lose color put them in a lower ligth area. Mine nearly all bleached under my 250 watt MH and I had to put them in the shade. Now with food and low ligth they are coming back nicely.

i do feed them cyclopeeze and mysis
