worried about my duncan

[sansouci01]

I purchased a duncan over the weekend. It took about an hour after I put it in the tank to open up. Over the last couple of days it has closed up again and I'm worried that it might be dying. I have heard that they do go through periods like this but would like some input from you guys
My parameters are as follows:
Temp..78F
Sal..1.025
cal..400
alk..9.1
ph..8.0
mag..1300
nitrate... .02
amm..0
phos...0

Give it a few more days,they can take some time to get adjusted.

Thanks..How about lightning? Do they need intense light. I have an Orbit marine LED fixture over my tank. Softies seem to be doing good. Is this enough light for my duncan?

I had one under the same lighting that did well, it was finding its sweet spot with the flow.

I have the same exact fixture and my Duncan is on the bottom of my 20 gallon high and is doing fine.Give it time.

Thanks guys. Makes me feel better. Will give an update ( positive I hope ) if and when anything changes

Well. I have an update. My duncan is still closed and now my star polyp is closed as well. All my parameters are in check as posted at the beginning of this thread. What's going on?????
