Duncan’s not looking too hot

[Andreas' Reef]

Hi, my Duncan’s aren’t looking too good. They were nice and open the last few days but today it was not looking great.

params are good.

N03: 4.5 ppm
Phos: 0.01
Calcium: 450 ppm
Mag: 1350 ppm
Dkh: 10.4
Salinity: 1.025

Other than alkalinity being slightly high (unless you run it in this range), the other two things I'd look at are lighting and flow.

Yeah I run Red Sea coral pro salt which is 10-11 alk. It gets low-medium flow and medium light. Would you say there is any tissue death?

It's definitely not happy, but what's causing it I couldn't say. How long have you had them?

probably a week. One I put it in it looked happy and fat. It is a trial coral and the only one in the tank. I had a few a while back and they were doing well. I ended up getting rid of them because I had to move.

maybe its just having a bad day : P
It was just fine earlier. It can't lose tissue in 9 hours, can it?
