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.
Day 81. After acclimating the Torch away from the fam, the Euphyllia garden is looking good.
I am thinking I have the flow about right.
They say fishing requires patience. They weren’t kidding. 😂 currently waiting for our new coral beauty to share herself with us. ❤️
Out of the dark ages. 🔦 Day 2 of light acclimation.

Spooked! First time he noticed the natural sunlight in the evening. Didn’t know they could change their colors so much. Almost looks like he was trying to mimic the shimmer of the leds or purple coral.
Sunday funday in the reef !
Light just coming on to wake up the misfits
Couple new hammers today. They were pretty pissed about the move , but they’re opening up now. We’ll see how they looking tomorrow.

My brother bought me a Kessil A80 yesterday man what a difference!! From stock fluval light to A80 🥶
Seen a pink and green plate coral today at the LFS, I had to have it. I’ve been watching it acclimate for like 1hr straight and been ignoring the GFs calls 😂
New Acro getting polypy as the lights go down
The Duncan is not a fan of the light, but it sure likes it when the lights are off.
