My tank had a mini cycle recently and I moved some of the unhappy corals to my frag tank (which i've since taken down). Everything that was left in the display tank is very happy again so I moved this Duncan colony back to my display about a week ago and has been unhappy ever since. Shows some polyp extension at night, but mostly sits like this. It's the only coral in this tank that's unhappy so I'm not really sure what to rule it down to, but prior to my cycle and nutrient spike that forced me to move it, it was very happy in this tank. Is there anything I can do to get it to recover back to normal? coral dip, iodine, feeding, etc? Thanks for the help!

My Duncan is doing the same thing after a tank move
Any plans on how to help yours? My Acans were similar and I fed them shrimp and they perked right up, but Duncan don’t eat whole shrimp like Acans do, I don’t think at least.

I also have a different light on it.
I’m just gonna leave it be
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it
