Dunken Coral

[Ty]

Dunken dose not look happy its been close all day. Yesterday was a 20 percent water change. During water change salinity was a littlle low so I added a little salt directly to the tank. I think salt may have fell on dunken. Any advice all parameters are in check

Never add salt mix directly to a system with fish and corals.

It's common for Duncans to close at the slightest provocation.

Making adjustments in salinity can be time consuming but should be done prior to water changes, or slowly if you need to adjust the SG.

To assist you further it is best to provide specific values for chemistry.

Next time, I'd suggest adding the amount of salt you need to increase salinity directly to your ATO water instead of the tank. The last thing you want to do is increase salinity rapidly in the tank.

Right, Thx

It's probably stressed due to salt being added directly to the tank. I would monitor your salinity over the next few days and try not to make any rapid changes to your tank.

Do you have a big tank?
