You know Jimmy, I got my first real, in person looks at some nice duncans at my lfs a couple days ago. Then I see yours and Amanda's new duncans.... I DID NOT realize how beautiful they actually were. It's a shame I figured this out after I had no more room to add one.
 
Not true! You could probably say some awful words like, the "Atlanta Falcons win the game" and Id still think it was funny. I feel like if I met you in person, id spend the entire time laughing.
Hey, you do know I am a life long falcons fan, through think and thin, worst super bowl comeback loser, yeah, Go Falcons

top side pic (not so great) I have him/her placed with plenty of room to grow. the front head in the pic is as big or bigger than a silver dollar

Yeah Oops, I didnt check my geography very well did I ? Gotta support your local team.
As a Saints fan, I dont have much choice brother, But I'm a life long, die hard Braves fan though. Do we have any common ground there?

I like the contrast and that coral is beautiful under whites. I know it looks good under blues too. That's not true about every coral in my opinion.

yes, the ground is called the south, just like in college, I support all SEC teams when its needed. I have pulled for the Saints plenty of times with Drew as QB. I cant tell you how many times i have been angry at Falcons management for missing the opportunity for a future, and then going with has been players

There is always room for one more... if not then it's time for another tank even if it's just a pico sized tank...

I know how that feels. That was my whole life as a Saints fan until Drew showed up. He finally made us a respectable team, right after Katrina destroyed the area.
I was a big fan of Warrick Dunn and of course you guys ended up with Bobby Hebert and Morten Andersen.

used my orange filter to get that pic

Got a 50 gallon low boy frag tank in my future plans! Hopefully sooner than later.
 
Gentle bounce off and on.
If flow and light is good, and so are youre parameters, this is probably just a grumps phase. My torches s and hammers do it sometimes too. It's usually flow for me. Maybe try a bit of spot feeding? Give it some small healthy lps pellets or mysis. It'll probably love white worms if you have them also.

I don’t have any white worms I died the tank with coral amino a few minutes ago and fed the northfin powder food I have a well.
