What causes polyp bailout?

[Kimberely]

I have one acan, a frogspawn and a favia that are all experiencing polyp bailout. I can't figure out what's going on. My other corals are doing fine. I haven't moved them. Parameters are phosphate 0ppm
Nitrite 0ppm
Nitrates 10ppm
Calcium 400
Mag 1380
Salinity 1.026
KH 8.0
Temp 78°.
I keep finding polyps from the affected acan lying on the sand. What gives?

i experienced polyp bail out when my nitrates were above 100ppm but I hadnt realized it because being a newbie a few years ago i hadnt done the test correctly so my nitrate kept reading as 5ppm.
I would say polyp bailout is usually caused when there is a drastic change in a parameter, either salinity, temp, nitrate in my case.

Following. Had a frogspawn recently have all of the polyps bailout out within a week. Can they get bacterial infections? If so, I think that my was cause. Or due to it being stressed when I moved corals around searching for a worm

I've been wondering if it could be a bacterial infection or some sort of disease myself.

Do you have pictures? My Hammer and Zoas are fine but my Acan is slowly dying too

There's no polyps left now it's just a skeleton.

Oh no People here told me that even experienced aquarists have issues with Acans while beginners don't. Acans just sometimes don't like the tank. I have similar water parameters as you and my acan is slowly shrinking
