This Duncan has been an issue since I put it in my tank. Won’t open and is now covered in some substance. Any suggestions as to what’s going on?

When did you add it? What part of the tank is in? Did u acclimate to the light? How are your other corals?
 
What are the parameters of the tank? Alk, ca, salinity, nitrates.

My duncans don't like my frag system which runs a little higher alk, usually 10. They love my lower alk, higher nutrient display which has alk of 7.5 and nitrates around 30

Can you blow the stuff off the duncan?
 
That's Brown Jelly Disease. With as advanced as it is I'd toss it before it spreads.
