I got a duncan a week ago and have basically no clue what I am looking for to check its health. The lights are pretty low since people say they need to acclimate apparently. Should I change anything or just keep everything as is?

Looks ok. I would say it’s acclimated to your lighting by now. Super glue it up on the rocks. Then post more pictures.
