Default Chalice Vs Acans

So I just had a chalice fall on top of some acans and their not looking so good, half of them are melting away. So, should I just remove the acans out? There is only about two heads left unharmed out of the seven, but the ones that took the brunt of the attack are melting and spewing quite a bit of slime.

wow that was a bad fight the chalice has some pretty bad scars also.. I'd leave them be for a bit as if there is any tissue it can regenerate quite fast as it does not have to regrow the skeleton. I have a Favia that is regrowing and doing well I bought it and it only had 4 heads and now it is up to about 7 or 8 in only 1 month. The skeleton rock is quite large maybe 5 inch by 7 inch. or larger I never measured I would say I am guessing on the small side. you may want to dip in some Lugol's solution tomorrow it may help in the healing process, I would have done the dip right away.

so after the smoke and slime had cleared, this morning the death toll was counted. four dead and two injured!

a hermit was picking the dead acan flesh clean off the skeleton

Chalice is still at large! presumably armed and dangerous
