I'd try feeding the Duncan and blasto pellets or something if it was me. Torches are touchy I wouldn't move it around to much. Blasto low flow low light. torch higher flow medium to high light. Duncan medium flow and light.

No problem. Some corals benefit greatly from meaty foods or pellets though. My Duncan was doing bad when I first got it then I fed it brine once a week and it looked 10 times better. My blastos love food like that to but I use pellets now cause it's cleaner
