Duncan help

[Damion123]

My Duncan is looking kinda sad. As per wwc. I let the frag acclimate for a few days before dipping. So Sunday I did a quick dip with coral rx. And now it’s looks all shriveled up. The second pic was a few days before the dip. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Did you have the Duncan in your tank for a few days and then pull it out to dip it??

What did you dip with?

I'm not sure that that makes much sense but regardless ya, let's see your parameters. Imo duncan's are pretty sensitive as far as lps go. They will always tell you when something's up with your water chemistry.

Dip before putting it into your tank.
We dip to prevent pest when first adding corals and adding them to a Display tank. If you just add them those pest get into your pretty tank and making it not pretty. So dip first then add them.

Dip can also help with issues with the coral

Now onto the duncan. Whats your parameters, where do you get your water from, what kinda lighting so you use and scheduel for them. And how new is the tank

I was just following the instructions that came in the wwc box. They advised not to dip right after shipping, because shipping is stressful and so is dipping. They advise to wait 10-24 hours after adding corals to dip. I got busy so it was more than 24 hours.
