Duncan health checkup

[Redbird5]

Yesterday I noticed that my Duncan isn't too happy. I'm wondering if it's being eaten by something or sick?

My duncans can be petty moody at times. The droopy tentacles makes me wonder if yours is getting enough flow.
Mine like enough flow too gently move them around

Saturday night they looked great then yesterday afternoon I looked at them and they looked like this. Maybe they're adjusting to the time change like everyone else?

How long have you had it?

How long have you had it?

six months

I'm not sure if its getting enough flow and light. At 6 months you should have several new polyps easily, I got new polyps on mine within days of getting it.

I would raise it off the sand into more light more flow, and feed it.

I have new polyps and up until yesterday it was doing great and then it started acting sick yesterday. There's four heads on it .

At 6 months, in my experience, it should be a nice round mini colony the size of a softball, or at least the size of a baseball. Its a very fast grower. To me, slow growth is usually about low lighting. just my 2 cents just trying to help good luck

Should it be more in the middle of the aquarium? Right now, it's in the sand and has great flow.

I would maybe raise it up to a different part of your aquascape so it can get more light.

How is everything else doing in your tank?

Might be helpful to post a video so we can assess flow, but if it has looked great for 6 months and never done this I would be suspect of a water parameter issue or something nibbling on it.

Thriving and happy. I moved it yesterday and it's a bit happier. I thought that my pithos crab had taken bites out of it. It's doing bad today. It was maybe 4 inches from my hammers.
