Help

hello guys, I have Duncan coral that won't open up, it was doing great and looked to be growing another head then I did a water change 10% and it sucked in and hasn't opened up for two days. Any help?

First question always seems to be what is your water looking like? Do you check the tanks salinity before to see how you should mix your salt and after? Could it be too high or low?

Seeing as how your over coral are doing great I would dip and put in a low flow area.

Ya that makes more sense, I didn't even look around just stared at the one that was doing poorly

I didn't test the water before unfortunately, I do a 10% water change once a week and get it from my local store, but this time when I did the water change the water looked really weird the best explanation is kinda like mixing oil and water and shaking it up, but then I saw the other corals doing just fine so I thought it was wierd

I might be the odd duck out but I always check the salinity pre and post wc and I check the water I'm using just to be sure

I always check my sg before the wc but I only change every 2 months.

No your smart! I put too much trust in the store, but hey it's a learning lesson! Thanks for the reply

It's not the water change something has attacked it or the flow is to much for it or it has pest.
