This does not mean they will die, but they might take a while to come out again. Shutting down pumps and putting some cyclops on them might do the trick but you might have to wait until they regain some strength before they will take the food. I find that my duncans do better under metal halide rather than T5HO but that's me.
If they don't grow new heads, they probably don't have enough light or enough food or both.
I had a frag that I have salvaged from one of my friend's tank that had nitrates at 100ppm and the duncan was really going to die, or looked like it. I saved it but it took a very long time to come back and even now it has small heads and does not eat as much as my own duncans. Do you have high level of nitrates?
And what type of light do you use?
