Duncan has been very happen in the place it is, however this past week he has been. Very shriveled up idk what to do. Worried about losing him as he has grown 2 heads since I've had him

Tank Param. As of this morning at 3 am

Ca 420
Kh 3.8/10.6 (depending on how you want to read)
Mg 1400

Ph 7.8-8.0
And rest is perfect. I know my ph isn't that great but the tank has been maintaining that ph and he was happy?!?

I'm not sure if it is normal, or what causes it, but mine do the same thing on occasion. Usually lasts between 2-5 days but has always come back looking fine.

I'll give him a few more days I guess I just don't like it at all
 
You said the rest of your parameters are perfect, what are your nitrates at?
 
Are you feeding them or the coral? Mine do very well when I feed 2x a week with small shrimp and I feed the tank daily.
 
I'll spot feed maybe once a month. Feed the tank every 3-4 days. All the other coral I have are doing great. He's just being stubborn

Try to spot feed this guy a little more often if possible. Maybe he is just throwing a fit because he only gets the really good goodies once a month[emoji6]
 
Give it some time, mine shrivels up sometimes as well especially at night. I have a colony that started off as 2 heads and is now over 6" across in a year. I've even fragged it several times. Fast growers when happy.
