I've killed every duncan I've ever had. sad considering you just referred to them as coral garbage cans....What kind of coral? My Duncans will literally eat anything that passes close enough. Shrimp molted? Claws are sticking out of Duncan mouths. Piece of foil from the back of that pop-out cube food accidentally Got in the tank somehow? Yep- Duncan is trying to eat it. Spine broke off an urchin? Duncan is using it as a tooth pick.
Lol! It’s a ‘time warp’ Favia I picked up yesterday. I was impressed. It chomped down a HUGE piece for its sizeWhat kind of coral? My Duncans will literally eat anything that passes close enough.

Check your MAG level!Man, it’s annoying how some tanks do well with some corals and they cannot survive in others even if the parameters are spot on. I’ve def seen my Duncan’s eat nori if the fish leave any for them to catch. I have about 20 lps/sps nems etc but I can’t keep an elegance at all. :/
I also have a smaller bottle I do this with for smaller sand bed corals. The 2L is tough in between rock work sometimes.Check your MAG level!
my elegance’s health is in almost direct correlation with the mag level. You may be low!
also- I’ve been feeding my LPS in PROTECTION- I use a 2L soda bottle (cut) and stick if into my sand bed. Then I squirt in all sorts of GOODNESS. The flow and fish are no enemy with this technique.
