Hey guys, first post, first tank and first problem lol I got an innovative marine 15G. It’s about two months old got a lot of cool stuff in there. Royal gramma, Canary blenny, two designer clowns, torch, hammers aaaaaaand the problem child. The Duncan. He has been closed for a day and a half now, all my other corals and fish are doing great, happy and fully extended. Anyone have any thoughts as to why? Thanks!!!

What are your parameters? What type of lighting do you have too?

Sometimes they close for a couple of days, maybe 4-5 days and they re-open again. This happened to me several times and the first couple of times a freakout and then I understood it was normal. If it stays closed for more than 5 days then you need to check your parameters. Duncans are the first to notice a shift in parameters.

Agree with this. Sometimes my duncans randomly close and open up again after a few days.

If they remain closed or look worse then I'd def check your params
