New Duncan Coral in shock?

[Nano_PB]

Hello,

picked up a A duncan frag from LFS along with some others. All of them are adjusting well to the tank - full extension and opening nicely. All seem fine except my duncan. Granted he's opening more than when he first went into the tank, but is this mucous stuff just a stress response?

Also, all water parameters are perfect.

Ps - only been in the tank for less than 2 hours.

Looks stressed to me. Give it time.

Saying parameters are perfect really isn't providing enough information.

Cool, thanks. Ill continue to monitor.

Water parameters are:

0 ammonia
0 nitrite
5 nitrate
0 phosphate
ph 8.2
alk 10
cal 360
salinity 1.25
temp. 78

Those looks good as long as you meant that salinity was 1.025, not the 1.25 that you typed.

Did you dip it? It looks like a reaction to dip. Usually passes in a few hours

Any news on how it’s doing?
