I have Duncan frag for about two months now and just added a catalaphillya this last week. The Duncan and cata both have been retracting lately, with the Duncan growing two new heads also. Other lps are fine so not sure if I should be worried? Will post parameters later today. Lights are at 80% acclamation mode

Euphyllia for comparison.

Things looks a little stressed, this also looks like probably a fairly new tank? lighting may be a little strong seeing how the torch in the shade looks ok but the frog above it looks bleached.

Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty sure it was the light, after I took that pic the cata opened up beautifully (I had just moved it there from a more exposed spot)

Just took my Duncan off its perch and put it on a new plug in the shade, will see if it comes out tonight.

I'm running twin AI Hydra prime and these things are so bright at full power the glow is visible at night from across the river lol. So I've got them turned way down now also. Some GSP and SPS bleached under them too.
