I have a Duncan coral that was thriving, parameters are perfect as all of my other corals are doing fine, for some reason it has been closed for a week, the only thing I could put it down to is my angelfish irritating it, I have attached an image of the possible dead Duncan.

It is kind of hard to tell from the blue picture, but it doesn't look dead, just retracted.

Could be the angelfish, but posting your parameters would help a lot. You'd be surprised how many people say their parameters are perfect, only to see them way out of norms.

hammers, torches and frogspawn are doing brilliant, all other corals like toadstools, Kenya trees and zoas aswell, just hope it’s not the rock beauty picking at it and I hope it Comes back out soon
