I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the Duncan is dead or what’s wrong with him I got him about a week ago it’s one of my first corals i got him but then had to go on a trip to Florida for a little over a week and when I came back he looked like this all of the other corals look good while I was gone I had a family member feeding and watching over the tank and he said the fish were messing with the Duncan and nipping at it we I got back last night I checked parameters and everything was fine except the ammonia was a little high so I did a water change to hopefully help it this picture was token about 10 mins after the light came on if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated

Duncans are good at being the canary in the coalmine, usually something off with water parameters if they close for extended periods.
