Feeding Duncan and New Heads??

[Tripspike]

I fed my Duncan some mysis tonight and boy did they gobble it up. You can still see the mysis in the mouth of the small head on the left.

If you look on top of the two larger heads you can make out a beige spot where two new heads are forming. The one on the middle head is a little more formed and I can just make out some tentacles. There are two more on the bottom as well.

This is an ORA duncan. Notice the green velvet like skin on the main trunk.

Nice Duncan and nice pic. Looks like the hermits at the bottom are deciding on who will get the snail!

I picked it up at my LFS in CT. I was there the day they received their ORA order and piced up some nice pieces.

There is a waiting list for Duncans from ORA.

How can you tell it's from Ora? I have a couple of them & they both have the green velvet stalk but one has fat tenticles & stays on the smaller side & the other one expands more & has thin tenticles.

I am not sure you can tell other than seeing the styrofoam boxes arrive at your LFS from ORA and watch each piece as it comes out. I do this pretty often. The best pieces go first....

I have seen some pics of Duncans without the green velvet stalk...not sure if they are sick or just a different strain.

Vorteil could you post a pic of each or us?

Vorteil, the one you got from me is traceable back to ORA. I got my piece from a LFS in Socal, and he got his piece from ORA 3 years ago.

Japer,

Its funny you mentioned that. Two of those hermits flipped the nassarius over and stole its treasure...a peice of mysis shrimp. It was quite comical. The snail scampered off once the hermits began fighting over the shrimp. It was quite comical.

Hey Viper,

the piece I bought from you is great. It gets really big & has a baby coming out from the side. I did get one as well from Captive Reef Which hasnt grwon but looks great. Yours has definately grown since I put it in. Looks like they do grow fast. I have a couple of other frags & one from Stoneyscoral(?) came on w/ one head & now has 3 new small heads growing. I'l try to figure out how to posts the pics. Thanks
