Scoly problem!!

[Wheelman76]

Update :

Looks like its starting to just disintegrate , has a bunch of holes all over the place. Dipped in coral rx and two worms came out of the skeleton , looked like bristle worms but there are so many different types of worms who knows.

Nothing nipping at it because I put a 2 litre bottle top over it to protect it from the flow a little bit.

I've had this happen to my premium acans before.....these fat deep orange/red bristle worms seemed to be the culprit but I didn't understand why considering I hadn't introduced anything new to my tank for months before the sudden attacks. Like I mentioned they only took out my brightest, most colourful colonies and left me with 3 dull colonies even though they were scattered amongst the infected ones. They receded for a few days, then holes appeared, then one morning they receded and showed their skeletons a bit...the next morning the tissues were white and jellylike....the next morning only skeletons left.
Someone please help this guy because this sucks! Especially to such a nice Scoly!

i had peppermint shrimp eat an acan in a similar way. do you have any and would they fit through those slits?

Jess is there enough base to break it up with something ? Not to destroy it, but enough to dig around inside the skeleton from the bottom and look for imbedded worms
This was how I saved my Acans
I busted the base up and then dipped it
