Duncan coral help!!

[CJD18]

I have a single stalk Duncan with 4 heads all but 1 small head never really fully opens. All heads get light feed 2-3 times a week. Should I try to just feed the smallest head?

Tanks for help!!

These small heads just seem not to fully open or grow.

Been feeding Reef roids but will a more meaty diet be better?? (Brine and Mysis shrimp)?

I think a meatier diet is what they prefer. They are such pigs though and will eat anything. I wouldn't worry about that one head... It's just the runt of the litter and eventually it'll catch up or the others will more than make up for it.

I'd say it's either a runt and it will be just fine OR the oral decided to grow in a different manner and will just cover it up and let it die off. Whenever I move my larger duncan colonies, there are always heads that just fade away and die off. They like to grow in a particular manner and when the angle or current is changed, they'll adapt and let some heads die. That's part of the reason why it's so hard for me to frag my colony; I've moved it a few times and there's no rhyme or reason to the growth.
