Duncan coral not so happy

[Baby Damsel 219]

My Duncan coral is losing its skin on its steam. It's closed up too. Pls help

Sorry, but it will be near impossible to tell you the cause, unless it's a lucky guess. We need more information. From your description, it sounds like tissue recession. Please, post a picture, tell us your parameters, and tell us the lighting and flow situation for the coral.

I had that problem, and I did not want to add anymore chemicals or stuff to tweak my parameters, But all parameters in range is good, so I target feed Reef Roids, and a day later my colony opened up again, I know that they do bounce back a lot, it's a good hardy coral.

Sorry to hear. Can you show a picture? I just want to make sure that it's definitely dead.

The skin was completely off and its polyps were no longer present all white steam and just a skeleton head.
