Hey folks, I have a nice Duncan that's been doing well. Put out a new head last month and in general has been going great. Recently I had noticed some contact between the duncan and a nearby Kenya. So I moved the kenya. But now even a few weeks after the move I've noticed a few tenacles still seem .... bloated and a little darker? at first is was just 1 but I feel like more have exhibited the condition

Am I being over worried ? or did I spot something ?

I will note that the photo was taken in the morning just after lights came on, so everything is a bit deflated but it makes the bloat a bit more obvious to my eye

Theyre opening up with is a positive sign. Are any other corals looking upset or is it just the duncan?

Duncan is the only one looking a bit weird. And just the head in question. the other 2 stalks look good.

I would just keep an eye on it. They can take a while to recover if they were fighting.
I'll call in the @ReefSquad just to be safe
