I would get those acans and they would be the prettiest thing in my tank for a few weeks and then all of the sudden they would just melt and die, thus breaking my heart like all the other acans I have had haha I can keep Acropora and other finicky corals but not acans for some reason.

Figuring out the hobby one coral at a time.
I feel you there. My favorite corals are Acans, and for the life of me when I switched to this tank, they just melt away. I have waited over a year since my crash to try any. The ones I have now are simple frags and have been alive for about 2 months now... Keeping my fingers crossed.

I feel you there, they are my favorite coral. When I had my biocube every Acan I bought flourished, moved to a bigger tank, and everyone I buy looks great for a few months to melt away to nothing.
The current ones I have I bought a couple months back. This was after I lost every coral except 2 and rebooted the tank with new LR and new sand. Fingers crossed they make it.....

Good luck! I will be trying a few colonies in my next tank, it will hopefully have a bit more depth so I can place them in lower lighting

I have a worry that my Acan which was doing really well on the sand (budding) has started to melt when I placed it ever so slightly above the sand (maybe 1-2"). Is that possible?

Absolutely love my acans
Love when they are super inflated during the day. Its amazing how far the polyps can extend
