duncan’s not growing

lucasb. · Jan 5, 2021

i got a frag of a duncan about 6 months ago and it has not grown another head. it’s always fully open and seems to be happy. my clown sometimes brushes it like an anemone but it doesn’t seem to mind. any ideas why it’s not growing?

calcium : 150
alk : 8.3
nitrate and phosphate u detectable

calcium is very low! try to get it up to 350 - 400, and also needs some detectable nitrates and phosphates for sure.

Calcium is super low and definitely a contributing, if not primary, factor. Once you slowly increase calcium, you can also start feeding it every other day or so. That really increases growth.
