+Mel in Elgin Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 My duncan has been fast growing, super healthy, and an excellent eater. Woke up yesterday to this... One head seems to be sick or dying. Everything else in the tank (GBTA, acans, zoos, candycane, hammer, Pagoda, xenia, kenya tree, and the rest of the duncan colony) appear to be perfectly fine. This particular head had just eaten very well the night before it started looking like this. I feed frozen krill and PE mysis-I thaw and drain juice before feeding. He doesn't seem to look any worse than yesterday, but not any better either. I did about a 30% water change yesterday. Any ideas??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 That just means it is ticked off. Do you have any angels or puffers in your tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mel in Elgin Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 No angels or puffers. I do have quite a few hermits and did notice when I fed it the other night that the hermits were a little more aggressive at trying to get the food from it's mouth. That just means it is ticked off.

Derek Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hmm, it is probably just irritated from getting walked all over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Hydro Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I wouldn't worry about it, there is always something wrong with something....kinda have to get used to it. The more you have the more problems you will see like that, maybe zoas that doen't open, sps bleaching at the base, sofites not opening....usually everything works out ok. Just make sure there isn't another coral stinging it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
