Duncan coral

[Farq1717]

Hey guys! So a woke up today and saw that my Duncan coral who lost a few heads yesterday now has a white Cloudy thing airing it. I have no clue what it is. Can someone help me out

Pic has too much blue But I would pull and dip in peroxide to clean it, then assure coral has moderate water flow and do feed it 203x per week. Additionally add iodine, strontium and potassium to water IF ,, , , , IF you do not do regular water changes. Salinity range- 1.025=1.026 and temp of 78-79 deg

Thank you. Here is a better pic of the coral

That looks bacterial, I believe the duncan is dying and bacteria is eating the rot. A peroxide or iodine dip could help but I would not recommend blindly dosing iodine, strontium and potassium without knowing if you need to raise those or not. Generally not needed if you do water changes and I think is unrelated to this issue.

Is the photo green because of back glass being covered in film algae or is your water not clear?

Core doesn't look good. What is your salt level (salinity)

It’s 1.025

It’s 1.025

If you feel safe to do so, dip it in Peroxide for 5 mins and return to mid tank
