    I dunno, our store had huge problems with he regression of tissue on our acans. We lost 3 giant pieces to it but i did have good success with our last remaining one with Kent Marines Coral Dip. After about a 2 weeks the tissue is slowly growing back. We also turned our heat down in our tank and it seamed to help... just a thought... that is what we did
