duncan

Hey guys quick Duncan question. I had one in my old tank that grew from 2 heads and sprouted 2 more and grew like crazy..then in the old tank it started bleaching but is still alive. I moved it into my set up and is happy and open but still bleached.. I read last night to manually feed it fish...

Can someone help me with my duncan coral? I had him for about 8 months now he was doing amazing in my 20g under t5 lighting but then I moved him to my 72g with LED loghting and he looked good for awhile. I have him in higher light with nice flow. He does not open like he used to. He did have an...

Hello, At the pet shop I was greeted by the sight of a few Duncan coral frags (Duncanopsammia axifuga, I think?) that each had one polyp. Around here, Duncan corals go for £10 a polyp and most shops only sell them with multiple heads, so I jumped at the chance. Here it is! It began to open up...

I've had this duncan now for 7 days in my 20gal long. I have target fed it every other day. The guy at the LFS said the more I feed it the faster it will grow. However, I did have a slight ammonia jump a few days ago and I'm still battling it. I just did my third water change in 4 days. First...

My duncan seems a bit skinner, when I got it at the LFS it was alot thicker. Not sure what is wrong, I checked at the LFS and the other though colonies were the same size. I know the LFS runs the LPS tank a bit "dirtier" but that shouldn't matter? My parameters as follows: SG UNK -...

I went to Petco and bought a $13 frag of "whisker coral" it looks like a Duncan to me. The whisker coral is probably a common name? It's a cool little coral, but it's taking longer than normal to acclimate to my tank. I know petco keeps their SG @ 1.019, and mine is about 1.025-1.026. do...

I probably should have taken this picture with my dslr but it was much quicker with my phone. I just wanted to get some general feedback on my tank. It is the first reef tank I've ever setup myself and yes I know it's too small for the fish but I'm getting a 50 gallon next month.

Not sure what I just stumbled across, my guess is that my little duncan found a shrimp molt and thought it was food :lol: Thought I'd share.

Is it normal for a duncan coral to close up completely at night? Iv had him for a week or 2 keep him under a dual t5 ho fixture hes about halfway up the tank in moderate flow temp is 79 degrees nitrates are 10ppm other corals seem to be fine they include leather coral, kenya trees, yellow star...

Hi i bought this coral a few days ago from Petland. I think it could be a Duncan but im not totally for sure. Any inputs please? After a couple of hours after i introduced it into my tank it opened right up and looked beautiful. My camera phone does not do justice to this beautiful coral. Today...

Just thought I'd share a couple new additions. They are about an inch+ across and love mysis. I'm open to options for permenent mounting placements. Do they reproduce like suns in a mat or do they branch? Thanks

ok, so my dumb clownfish started to host my duncans, but i don't think he realizes that they are way too small for him so he is really awkward around them and its really funny to watch. Ill try and post a video a little later, cant get it to work right now

Here is some coral growth that I have seen under my 120w value reefbreeder LED. They are in my 60g. 36x18x20. The growth on the duncan and Nuke green's are from 4/21/13-9/17/13 and the cup coral is from 6/6/13-9/17/13.

Aww. It's just like a newborn baby... Well, maybe not, but it's my first growth, and it's cute. :D

Hi all, Looking for guidance here. My Duncan is showing some yellowing tissue on one of the heads and a cottony like growth...possible decay or fungus. I need advice as to what I should do here. Its a large piece with 30-40 heads and I don't want to frag this unless its the method of last...

I purchased a 3 headed duncan frag approximately 2 months ago. For the most part the frag seems healthy and has good color. My question is wether it's normal for the coral to close for days at a time, then open for a day or two then close again for several days? I try to feed it mysis shrimp 1...

can someone help me here? i have a duncan coral and every 2 days or so there is this white gritty substance crawling up the stalk which it hates. i pick it off with a tweezers and then it comes back in the exact same spot. What is it? how do i get rid of it? when it is not there, the Duncan...

Hello, Any problem with these corals touching each other? Thanks in advance!

The star polyp was doing amazing for about 2 weeks and then out of nowhere never comes out anymore except for that one little star. http://i.imgur.com/hNcl7JX.jpg This coral, forgot what it's called (Duncan maybe?), comes out fully sometimes, but other times completely shrivels up or looks...
