Acan opening but receding very slowly

[evomclaren]

Hi,

The acan is always puffy but i notice that the skeleton is slowly showing from the sides. So far 3 polyps affected. Every couple of days you will see that its receding very slowly. Any ideas? Thanks.

You feed it?

What are your nitrates?

I've the same problem, a lot of reefers telling me that its due to insufficient feeding. Sometimes it due to led if u r using one.

I am using a simple led light. Could it be lack of calcium/carbonate?

[evomclaren]

Parameters are ok

[Admiraltian]

What kind of simple led? Maybe can shade it from light, place in a low flow area & feed it once or twice a wk to see if there's any improvement. If u hv iodine or amino acids, can also supplement to improve its health.

Aquazonic led. Mine is a pico tank with an ordinary hang on filter.

If u r placing it under direct light blast tom your led, maybe try to place it under a more shaded area with lesser light. Some lps such as prata need to acclimatize to strong light especially from led.
