Did this occur shortly after lights being turned on?

Uhm yeah I think, however theyve been acting normal for the first 2 weeks
got a duncan last night, he seems to be doing okay hes fully opened.

See if the color comes back after a bit (Fish lose color when lights are not on). Also when fish are woken up from darkness to full light, they tend to dart and act silly, if you are using a simple on/off light that doesn't "Ramp up".
Also, I wait till the light has been on for at least 30 minutes to 1hr to feed. As they wont always eat right when the lights come on. From the sounds of it this may be all you are dealing with.

I don't see any evidence of disease (Pics are kind of blurry though), the first thing that always comes to mind with clowns is Brook. If you notice small white specs or spots, or it looks like skin peeling, that may be a different story.

No way of knowing without a pic. That said, Duncans are very hardy lps corals. They'll thrive in most any environment. They're slow growers at first but once they pop out a few more heads they'll spread like wildfire.

One of my favorite corals too
