Duncan finally open..

aznflyfisherman · 11/01/2017, 11:22 AM

Ok guys my duncan in my 110g finally open after 5 months, but it never lost its bright green color. All other corals seem to br fine but the duncan. I am thinking its my salinity but im just glad it open up.

We love our Duncan. They are very cool. Glad yours opened. Ours is just getting green. I think he is completely open. Not sure. They are very cool looking I love all the motion.

Does anyone know the reason for them not to open. My been closed up for about 4 months now

Low alkalinity will affect a lot of LPS function.

Check your salinty as well, make sure its not too high, mine was high for some reason but once i lower it open up within 6hrs.

Salinity is 1,26 regular for reef tank

How stable is the alkalinity?

What is the Magnesoum level? I had some scans that were not happy when my Mg was low.

I assume your salinity is 1.026 not 1.26 or that could be the issue right there.

Alk is stable for sps corals to do well. Salinity is 1.026 . Mag is somewhere around 1400

Did your Duncan's hold that color?

aznflyfisherman · 12/29/2017, 08:36 PM

Yes mine has always stayed very green even after being close for a couple months.

Reefpuck · 12/29/2017, 08:48 PM

Awesome. The reason I asked is they looked almost redish in the photo. I'd kill for some red duncans!

When we got it there was not much green. After a few months the centers are very green and rest is more purple.

Here is a picture with lights off
