Duncan going

[radreef02]

Haha so I have all these other corals doing great but I put this Duncan on the sandbed, had 10 heads but I had to cut them off cus they died. I check it out a few hours later and another head is gone and another flesh on another head is going. Should I just trash it

every other coral is doing amazing, RBTA, torches , zoas etc

definitely do not trash it as it's still a living animal. First and foremost, what are your water parameters? I would dip the duncan with some coral dip then I would glue the stem on a tile or frag plug then place the tile or frag plug on the sand bed & make sure it doesn't fall over. Also make sure it has moderate flow and it should bounce back

salinity 1.025
Nitrate 15
Phos .1
Calcium 420
Alk 7.5-8
Temp 78-79
Ph 8.4-8.2

Water Params didn’t cause this particular case, it was being on the sand and letting citizens knock it over is what caused it and I didn’t see it in time to straighten it.

I have coral rx I believe and I will need to cut off the head that is starting to recede

it has flesh so its still alive, why trash it? Instead, ask why such a hardy easy coral isn't doing well in your tank?

Here’s the rest of the tank.
As stated before, that coral was on the sandbed and a head or 2 was stuck in the sand and they died off
