I can't seem to get food to every polyp on my new duncan - is this necessary for the corals survival? I believe I have read that it is with a sun coral, and that the duncan is in the same family...
Feeding duncans - every polyp?

No its not necessary for the Duncan. I only spot feed mine once a feed and don't get every polyp. It mainly gets what floats by when I feed the fish. I started with 1 polyp and have over 7 now so it seems to be doing just fine without getting every polyp.
The sun coral does need every polyp feed because it is not photosynthetic, it has no zooxanthella like other corals.

Even without fish they'll do more than fine just on light
Good to know, because otherwise I have been slacking!

I spot feed mine every night and mine has tripled in size in the past month.
From 3 heads to about 10 now
