Duncan question
I have started up a new tank (60 gallon cube) and have purchased a few corals. I have a duncan and it seems to be doing ok but it only opens fully at night. I have a black box led, the duncan is about mid-height in the tank. The water parameters are fine. Is it to much light on the duncan not making it open fully during the day?

Is your light on at 100%, Duncans like very little light

Yes it is an older LED that I am planning on replacing soon. It does not have an adjustable output. I guess I should move it lower or to a shadier spot.

My duncan did not like high light either so I ended up decreasing the percent as well and it responded well.

You could also move the light up. Sounds like too much light.
