Micromussa/Acan Problems

In the past couple of months, my micros and acans have not been hydrating at all. Up until then, they were growing well and were happy as can be. Some of them are starting to recede a bit and the polyps are slowly dying off. I've been doing iodine dips in hopes that it would fix the problem, but this isn't helping much at all. I haven't added anything new to the tank at all in the last couple of months. Anyone else ever had this problem? All my levels are normal and are as follows.
DKH: 9.5
Calcium: 425
Salinity: 1.024
Nitrates < 2
Phosphates - not traceable
Magnesium: 1325

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try dipping them in tropic marin pro coral cure. I had some that had tissue recession. It stopped and the coral recovered 100%. Man I hope you get this going in the right direction, you have alot of nice ones.

I agree with all delight do a dip in tmpcc. I've done that as well before. It stopped the tissue recession on my acans.
