Sorry to see that! That's very unusual for a Duncan. Do you have any suspect fish because if everything else is doing ok then usually parameters are ok. You have some much more delicate corals in there.

No I never see any of my fish even pecking at any of my corals. I have been very careful making sure only to buy fish that are totally reef safe.

I'm going to ask all the annoying questions lol sorry.

How long has it been there? Usually they grow very fast. I got mine in October and it has 9 heads now so if it had been stuck at a single head it could just be it was an unhealthy specimen to begin with.

The next annoying question lol.... do you have recent test results for the big 3 and no3/po4?

I don't know, while you run your KH fairly high and Mag low in comparison a Duncan should totally handle those parameters. If it's been there for two months it should at least have started to show some new heads forming under the main one.

Sometimes we just get a bad one and it had nothing to do with us.
