Could need more light because they need closer to 150 par I keep mine about mid way up in my tank.
He was opening fully for a while under the same lighting conditions. I don't really have a place to put him in the tank that would offer 150. Increasing my intensity would fry some other guys. Hard to explain the light setup but that's more or less the case.

Not getting blasted, flowing nicely.
Maybe move him higher up maybe not receiving enough light but I wouldn’t think that would cause it to be closed I would think it would be extended if more light was needed I had zoas that needed more light and they just extended up towards the light.

Yeah than I don’t know Duncan’s can be really east sometimes but also very moody with changes in water params. I agree that I don’t think it’s BJD because that kills fairly quickly. Idk if I would do anything else to him and just give him some time and see what happens. Sometimes Coral just fails for no reason.

Thanks for your help! I did find a spot with more PAR I could try. Will post an update in a week or so.
