Chemical warfare from GSP impacting acans?

I have a little two head acan that is one of my very first corals. I was 99% sure I totally killed it a while back when I was still figuring things out. It literally had one tiny, barely visible bit of "flesh" left. I just left the skeleton in the tank.

 

Amazingly, it came back after about four months and was doing well. For no apparent reason it has started to recede again. There are a few polyps of GSP on the frag. Could that be causing the recession?

 

I sort of like GSP so I have left it alone, but I'll yank it off this frag if it could be causing recession.

 

Thank you :)

GSP are very aggresive and will over grow and kill corals if not kept in check. Tank them off the acan ASAP.

I peeled most of it off with a knife last night...keeping my fingers crossed :)

 

Good move!!

It's tripled in size since I peeled off most of the GSP. Seems like most things I try in the tank give me slow, incremental results...not this time!
