I've never housed an acanthhophyllia, but I have had tons of acans and other LPS. It sounds like it is getting too much light. Try shading it a little.

I was given a translucent pink one and brought it back around just by feeding it. I did place it low in my tank. I feed small 1/4x1/4in. pieces of raw scallops or shrimp, a couple times a week. If you have cleaner shrimp in your tank, hand feed them to. I've seen cleaner shrimp tear open the mouths of corals to steal the food from them.

What are your parameters and what lights are you running??? We need a little info on your system to be able to give you the right advise... I have had a few acanthos and you can almost put them in the shade and they will be fine
