Info on Duncan Corals

[pscheel]

Can someone give me info on them? Are they a type of anemone? Scientific name, requirements (flow, lighting, do they need to be fed?). Also, if you have any pics and or links that wouls be great too.

not an anemone, medium flow, should be fed meaty foods regularly however they are photosynthetic unlike Dendros

Neat coral

I have mine in high flow, high light and feed it Rod's food daily. I have a couple mature poylps that have 2-5 babys on the side. Fast growing under these condition it seems

Yeah, better save that to your Favorites, before it gets deleted! Great site, really nice people.

Rob, how long after yours were fragged, did you see any babies? I was told that mine is spending all it's energy making skin to cover the cut where it was fragged & then it'll start making babies. Makes sense to me.

Yeah, already saved to my favorites.

I fragged that piece off about a week before the CMAS swap.
I noticed the first baby heads right before the RR swap. So what was that a month.

Keep it well fed + you'll see new polyps sooner than later.
