I got home to this...my most expensive acan frag all covered in white/transparent slime. All other corals appear fine. I've seen my peppermint shrimp attacking an acan before so I'm wondering if that's what happened during lights out. What do I do now? Thanks!
That white slime looks like the stuff from a worm, the worm probably killed something and the shrimp was eating the left over. Forgot the name of the worm but its a bad one and hard to catch. Just my guess though.

Yes they will take the food from the acan but they wouldnt attack the acan itself and I dont think the shrimp or the acan would leave that white slime behind.

I have also seen a peppermint eat an acan. Which is why that's what I suspect has happened again. I've never seen so much slime though! Also of note...I do see the shrimp lurking around so I might just trap him and re-home him in the sump.
