Duncan’s will do this from time to time. Mine do it sometimes and I still freak out but they eventually open back. Sometimes they do this when growing a new head other times they could be telling you something about your water. Give them time they will probably be ok. Make sure nothing is bothering them. Also if you want any help from here the first thing everybody wants to see are your water parameters. This will give us a starting point. What kind of flow are they getting

How much water flow is it getting? My duncan is very sensitive to too much water flow.

This will often happen off the start. Give it a bit of time and check your parameters often. From personal experience, I located mine in sandbed for first few weeks lower flow, then moved it up a bit higher on rock, where it is now. I also find mine enjoys the water a little bit 'dirty' nitrate wise. I feed tiny bits of shrimp or scallop every so often as well. Good luck, a highly underrated coral imo.

Its one of the most beautiful in my opinion. It has been my favorite coral so far.
