My Duncan recovered from a parasitic infection for about a month thanks to anti parasite dips. It is healthy now except that it has brownish stalks instead of green. Why is that so?

I used to target feed my Duncan with reef gel, however now I only use broadcast feeding of clam max, phytofeast, amino S and polyp booster. Is this sufficient or should I resume target feeding as well?

me never feed my duncan and grow many many heads now so feeding is not a must for duncan ...
Colour wise still ok? How long have you had yours? Mine starting to become alittle more green again. Could be nitrates issue.

mine about 3~4 months not remember correctly but every head have grow 2~4 baby heads and the baby is about same size with mother head now they grow very fast without feeding and my nutrient is ultra high so nitrate is not an issue for duncan but most importantly are lighting i think ...
