I got this duncan a couple weeks ago as a freshly cut frag. Where another head was cut off it seems to be regenerating tissue. Could this be growing back the head that was cut off? It hasn’t grown it’s purple skin over the cut yet like my green one did and there is now a bulge with what looks like a touch of green in the center, like a mouth forming. It responds like the polyp does and the bulging area will go down when the polyp retracts also.
