For some reason my duncan has stopped opening up the past couple of days. before it used to open up fine. sometimes I notice a bit of brown stuff coming out of its mouth but im sure its just poop.

salinity 1.025
kh 7.5
ca 420
mg 1420
ph 0.03
n 0.2

perameters have all been pretty constant. it just all of a sudden stopped being happy.

I have a video from when it was doing well vs now

 
Are you sure its not getting stung by that frogspawn? My frogspawn is evil and kills other corals it can reach
 
Firstly it’s a hammer^ but yeah even when the hammer is fully puffed out it doesn’t reach my Duncan
 
Do you have photos? Videos aren't loading on my end

I find reef2reef doesnt show photos or vids on mobile sometimes. if you log into a computer u should be able to take a look
 
Not sure if this is helpful to you or not, but I had a duncan once that stopped opening for like a month for no apparent reason. Then one day, poof, started opening and was happy. Never was able to figure out what the issue was, or if there was one at all...
