Shrivelled Duncan.

[Bent17]

Hi all, need some help with my Duncan. Its been shriveled like in the photo for the last few weeks. Any idea what could be wrong?

What are your parameters? Doesn't look bad to me.

Was looking much better..this is a few weeks ago

Have you fed him?

 

[LeannaBanana]

Parameters would be helpful to know.

In the meantime though, any tank mates that might be annoying it? Mine shriveled up when my clown decided to rent it's space, and ultimately I had to move the Duncan. Are there any other corals nearby that could have long sweepers? Any shrimp or crabs that might pester it?

There is a torch few inches away.

Yeah target fed mysis and looked happy but remained shrivvled. Maybe I need to move it?

 

[Blake509]

Try feeding reef roids mine always puff up after eating it

FWIW our's loves lower flow and to be in the sand, I started giving it the easy lps pellets and it's blown up.

 

[Rowboman]

How’s your flow in that area? They can tolerate higher flow but tend to open up more in lower flow

 

[Bent17]

Its quite high flow. Let me take a vid

Reefroids are out of stock

Brs reef chili is similar to reef roids from what I'm told

 

[Blake509]

That does seem like a lot of flow but it's opened up in that flow so I don't think it's that usually if to much flow won't ever fully open

Hmm, can’t watch the video. I would bet flow is the issue if they’re in a high flow area though. I have to turn my power heads down quite a bit after I deep clean them because the increased flow annoys my Duncans, shrooms, goni’s, and euphyllia and causes them all to close up

Really? Mine tend to only fully close if the flow is WAY to high for them. If it’s just a little to high they shrivel up a bit. Also I’d like to say hi to a fellow reefer from my hometown

Just ordered some on Amazon last night that were delivered a few mins ago.

That's been my experience but I could be wrong. And always gotta show love to a fellow spokomptonite

Do you have clowns that may be trying to host it? It happened to mine until it got used to be accosted by the female.

Salinity is a bit on the high end.
