Newbie here my Duncan has been closed up for about a day and today I saw this pimple on it. Is it a new head or an infection? I saw it stretching yesterday in that direction.

To me does not look that good. Polyps can be a lot puffier and longer. Maybe it’s still acclimating.
If you list your water parameters and better pics I’m sure some peeps can help.

New heads grow from the side. I had a trio and this is them now:

It looks healthy, how long have you had it?
The flesh comes down off the head, that healthy. If it starts receding, that's a problem. It doesn't look too be extended all the way but that happens from time to time.
How old is the tank?

I’ve had it for a week now and it’s been fully extended the whole time, yesterday I brought home a hammer and that’s when I notice it’s changing behavior, tank is almost 2 mos old

Give that hammer more room they can extend sweepers.

Polyps extension is not there could be from too much flow I would suggest to feed it before I dip it. I feed mine TDO B2 pellets, every other day. It should fully extend after that and will grow very fast afterwards.
