Ricky - if he has an issue with bugs - wouldn't this be happening to ALL of his acans? It seems to only be happening to the ones that are light in color, nor are they placed near each other - they are on opposite sides of the tank.

whats a high temp for acans?
I am also curious about this.

Looks more like dying... Try a %30 water change and move them to a low area with medium to low flow and light. Do not target feed them for now. See how that works. Oh and keep them away from other corals and crabs/shrimp.

i was also going to say all your other acans in the back look healthy. and do you feed them at all? try putting it in a lower light area. i had a problem with my pink acan also.
