Duncan coral is closed up and slimed over, is it dead?

[John.Thompson]

Take a look at the Duncan coral pictures to help me confirm that it’s dead. I am pretty sure it is but I want to be rational and not just kick him. Thanks.
Also, are bleached corals able to be saved to a certain point? Had 3 that didn’t like the light one day and turned all white.

Thank you for bringing some light comedy to my stressful time or coral keeping. Made me smile. Thanks for the input

unfortunately it looks that way.

Although crazier things have happened. For example, i lost this trumpet coral head and months later i see 2 new heads forming..


you never know.

Would much bacterial/ammonia harm come from leaving it?

Its a goner. You can siphon the top with 3/8" tubing and see if there is any green flesh within the skeleton but grim chances

This is why I never remove anything. You never know.
