Can someone tell me what’s going on here this Duncan has been thriving for a while now started with two heads and is now close to 10. It has closed up at times but never looked like this. If it’s dying or dead it makes now sense all other coral are good parameters are in check nothing has change. This makes no sense

Is it a nighttime picture? What are the parameters please?
 
early morning but it looks like that all threw the day alk is 9 mag 1350 cal 440 nitrate 17 phos 0.17
 
Is the Duncan coral the only one that seems upset, or do other corals? I'm wondering if something might have bothered it.
 
Mine also is growing like crazy, but occasionally all the heads will suck in like that??? I always just assumed that it was a hermit or something made it mad? It will usually puff back out after a while. See how it looks later in the day.
 
The reason I’m concerned is cause it will close up from time to time but this time it looks more shriveled than it does just closed

It doesn’t even look much ducanish to me.

Still looks the same dude at the lfs said the same thing said maybe my file fish is picking at it I don’t think that’s the case though bottom right by the way that Duncan looks awesome

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

  • I haven’t really considered this before
