Rookie mistake. I bought this Duncan not long after setting up the tank because I heard they were "easy".
Those 2 bleached branches were there when I bought it. Stupidly, I superglued it to the main rock before I realised it should have sat lower in the tank. Until now, it only extended it's polyps when the lights were off at night (normal) and before the lights were on in the morning in ambient light.
Finally, I think it has adapted to the light conditions and starting to enjoy life.

Mushrooms lookin big and healthy. Don’t mind the damaged acans I have hungry shrimp 🦐
My favia looked like it was drooling and now it’s smiling
It may not be pretty but I'm calling this a great sign. This blue ridge coral frag has never opened up since I have had it. It was also one of the first I put in the tank. Must have finally gotten everything right for it. Even though it was dead at one point.
Can't find my glasses but I just added in news and the ananomie plus some birds nest and my gold torch everything's doing fantastic you may see some stuff closed but that's because I turned the lights of to let coral settle in earlyer
Took some pics before work and after love to see them all open now 🫶🏽 it’s just sometimes the 2 hammers fall, love it there but don’t want the skeleton to get damaged! Happy New Year’s Everyone don’t drink n drive pls drink and stare at your tank 😭
