I have the same problem in my tank. Can anyone help?
Not really high flow. Are they sensitive to stronger currents?Any high flow bouncing off the glass?
My tank is a year old, and earlier (few months ago) I lost a duncan and a candy cane (months earlier). Its weird that stuff like this happensSadly, might not be doing anything wrong if other corals are doing well. You can try different light acclimation scenarios perhaps adjust flow.
Personally, I feel, especially early on in tank maturation that some corals just don't do well. 6 months later they do fine as the tank mature. The pics indicate a newer tank.
I would concentrate on the corals you're currently successful with and give it a few months and try again. It's worked for me with zoas (still waiting to reattempt candy canes and duncan)
Thank you for your post. Yes, the picture is from a new tank. I also have a 55g established reef tank and same issueSadly, might not be doing anything wrong if other corals are doing well. You can try different light acclimation scenarios perhaps adjust flow.

I have frogspawn, hammer and goniopora in my new nano tank and they are doing extremely well. It’s just weird that some corals (especially the ones labeled as easy) don’t do well.My tank is a year old, and earlier (few months ago) I lost a duncan and a candy cane (months earlier).

Agree...my rainbow nem is doing great as are my softies and LPS. But I couldn't get a new head to sprout on a zoa to save my life. Had only three polyps for months. Then in one month I have 10 new polyps. Lost two duncans and two candy canes - they'll be on my next shopping list since the zoas and a blasto have really started to take off.My tank is a year old, and earlier (few months ago) I lost a duncan and a candy cane (months earlier).

I have a hammer, two torches, toadstool, mushroom, anemones, and Nepthea that are doing well. I have a candy cane in the tank at this very moment, but it doesn't look great. The rest are perfect... strangeI have frogspawn, hammer and goniopora in my new nano tank and they are doing extremely well.

Zoas have always done fine in my tank. I guess it is just luck XDAgree...my rainbow nem is doing great as are my softies and LPS. But I couldn't get a new head to sprout on a zoa to save my life.

Everything in its time, I guess. At least for me. Some people are lucky and everything grows great right off the bat.
Mine loves light too. I'd move it up in the tank if possible. It's dying, so what have you got to lose.My candy can was dying ...moved it up to top portion of tank with high flow and light...loves it and now growing back.
Don’t throw out the skeleton. They have the ability to regrow from basically nothing.
