Zoa's fell on Acans..Are they dead?

[Oasis]

Hey guys, I woke up this morning to find that my 6 polyp my Clementine frag was knocked down and laying on top of my acans below. I heard that acans will kill anything they touch but wasn't sure if that is a true statement or not. Anyone have this happen or have an idea of what to expect? Thanks

oh sorry my bad, um they are closed up of course but look much more retracted then normal. Kinda flat chalice like...and the tips are white where they normally come out. And last I saw them was 10pm last night, So they could have fallen and been sitting here for 1-10 hours. I dont have a good enough camera or id take a picture. Hope that helps. I really dont know how else to describe it.

what kind of acans...? aussie, indo or acan echinata...?

acan echinata will kill plastic coral... that's no joke... but aussie and indo aren't that bad... the mat might pop up some heads later on...

I just had a stupid lobo shoot his wad all over my rainbow acans. The lobo was about 2 1/2" away and BAM.. It digested all my colony except 2 polyps. Was kinda cool watching it happen BUT i blasted the stuff off the acans and moved the lobo. His butt is in denention now..LOL The acans that were not touched are doing ok. GL with your zoas. Hope they wernt pricey
