Got some nice Aussie Duncans this weekend...


I went up to Cultivated Coral last Friday with a friend to pick up his new pump and I got some Aussie Duncans. They are very nice and opened up beautifully, just though I'd post pics of them.

when I first got them



couple hours later, and after some brine



btw I had a great experience there and if you get a chance check them out they have some nice stuff and he says he should have some more Australia stuff coming in soon as well.

Awesome, I've wanted duncans since I first saw them. Unfortunately they go for $75 a head around here.

Yeah, but the cheapest I've seen them online is at liveaquaria, I think they are $60 for a three head piece, after shipping, it's still a big investment. I'm a little gun-shy when it comes to spending money on live stuff that is sent though the mail.

WOW!!! I had no idea how expensive they were. I guess we scored at $10 for one head at a reef show.

Nice coral.Don't forget to feed it well as i've found these to be a very greedy coral and also quite a fast grower for a LPS.
I've also got the plating type duncan which isn't as common as the "normal"type but just as easy to keep.
