looks like a worm like growth. My flow, lighting and params have not changed with weekly tests and it has always been happy. My question is more of if it looks like there is a pest on it.what's your question exactly? are you asking why the duncan won't open? If so, give us your water parameters, lighting and flow equipment rundown.
yeah I can when I get back. There are 4 pictures on the other thread if you could check that out. Thank you for responding btw!I see - can you provide a closer up photo of the "worm like thing"?
Will do however I do not think the parameters are the problem like I’ve specified before it is a pest issue is what I’m concerned about. I have many other coral in there including finicky species such as torches and gonis and they are all doing fine and my Duncan has been doing fine until a week ago when I saw there was a few weird stringy things coming from the skeleton.Try opening the windows to raise the pH. The pH should be 8.0-8.5
I turned down the white the blue is very high. I only have hermits and I have never noticed them messing with anything else before.You also said you switched the light. Has it turned like this since the moment you switch the light? If so give it back its light. The par on the white color may not meet its likings. Also I may be crabs
Could be I think the nitrate is higher than the tests say tho because I have nutrients in my tank or I wouldn’t be also battling gha. I need to get a different test kit for nitrates.Ph is not the issue here…
My Duncan looked like that with a month of 0 nutrients. Didn’t see any stringing, but other LPS had die off like that. My torch died but my Duncan lived once I started dosing nutrients. Mine is in low light and has been placed in varying amounts of flow. My guess is the nutrients, and may have gotten some kind of infection after being stressed from 0 nitrates.
That was my problem too. I had so much gha, it was starving out the corals.Could be I think the nitrate is higher than the tests say tho because I have nutrients in my tank or I wouldn’t be also battling gha. I need to get a different test kit for nitrates.
