Whats wrong my duncan?

[Notsolostfish]

Iv had this duncan for 3 month. And its usually all extended. And happy. Irs still happy, but tje bottom head noticed have nubs tentacles, and not as big these past few days. Any reason why? I caught my emerald crab this morning holding one of the tentacle heads, and eating it. Im going to catch it, and place it in the sump. But could that be a reason for it to be stressed out?

How long it takes for the duncan to recover? Because its been few days it looks wrinkled

If something would be munching on you, you wouldn’t recover in 2 days either. Take the crab out and if the spot was great it’ll recover if nothing bothers it any longer. Recovery won’t be overnight, but you will see it recover

Depends on how happy the duncan is... most lps heal pretty slowly, so maybe a few weeks?? Def not an overnight thing lol!

crabs are bad, emeralds are coral munchers. But to me your coral looks good overall , perfect amount of flow. How long has it been like that? Duncan gets moody sometimes for a day or two. I would just wait and see for another day (after removing the crab)

Decades ago emeralds cleared my tank of bubble algae. They say the females are the best behaved but I’ve had males with no problems.
