Duncan Coral problem

[sarah taylor]

I have a 3 head small Duncan with illuminous green stems.. was doing really well but trigger fish started attacking it (trigger now moved tank) but 2 heads and some outer skin wiped out but middle section still all ok as before.. does anyone know if other heads & skin will return in time or are they gone forever? Thanks for advice x

Cut off all the dead parts. I just saw a video the other day of a guy that fragged out every head of his duncan colony and every single head slowly grew back just from the left over stem.

Wow thanks for that can u tell me how he cut them.. what with and I'm or put if the water? ? Thanks

I would leave it alone. Heads that appear dead can bounce back, or even shoot out a bunch of little heads.

Assuming water and lighting are within spec...

Great thanks for the advice all x
