Ever since my phosphates rebounded a bit ago I added some phosguard and it brought it down over the course of a few weeks

I believe I may have over dosed recently as it brought me down from near .3 to dead 0 in just a couple days and the swing to 0 shocked the duncan. A few zoas were ticked too but I thought they might be been munched a little bit

I got home from work today and noticed my duncan barely hanging on

I shut off flow, dumped half the phosguard and fed the whole tank some prime reef and roids.

Went upstairs to poke holes in my frag cup and when I came back down my cleaner shrimp had accidentally pulled the rest of the head out while stealing food

I carefully picked it up and put it back on the skeleton and put the cup over it to keep it from getting blown off


How should I go about helping it recover? I'm gonna feed a bit more and test every other day

I'll try to keep this updated on whether or not the head takes root
