    duncan coral

    Hi,

    I have had a duncan coral with 3 heads for about a month. This morning when the tank lights turned on all the tenicals had fallen off and were on the bottom of the tank.

    Does this mean that it has died, or will they grow back. I haven't seen any fish or crabs around it, but it was growing and seemed fine, so I assume something must have gotten to it.

    Thanks for any help

    Mark Mauro

    Hi Mark,

    I've not kept a duncan so I can't give you any specific advice. Do you see any of the other tissue sloughing off? Is there a foul odor?

    Hi CarmieJo,

    It seems to be solid, but I will get a picture today and post to see if it helps.

    Thanks,

    FYI

    for anyone interested, The duncan seems to have recovered on it's own. This morning it's tenicals had grown out almost full.
