What do you all feed your Duncans, and how do you feed them? I just got some recently and am thinking about starting to feed them.



KingFisher62: The first pic you posted, is that what they look like after they eat? one of mine looked a little bit like that yesterday and I was afraid it was not healthy or something. I dont' feed, but maybe it got a hold of something.

yes the first pic was right after i fed them. I am sure yours was just digesting something!

I usually use a turkey baster to feed mine mysis shrimp, flake food. pellets

Here Is an updated picture of mine.

If you only suck up a few mysis shrimp with your turkey baster and you are gentle enough you can feed each head with one or two shrimp with out a lot of waste. shutiing off the powerheads and filters while feeding will help!

+1 King. Target feeding is the best way. I use a pipet to feed all my corals that require target feeding.

Here's one I snapped a little while ago. Thought it was interesting b/c it's normally long polyp/tentacles were all scrunched in for some reason:

Why is it that with duncans and candy canes, they're referred to as "heads" but with other corals, they're called "polyps?"

Is it because when you call it a head, it's easier to get people to part with a chunk of money for it?

Just imagine a zoanthid polyp for $20 each, then a duncan head for $20 each. It just sounds more expensive to pay for the zoanthid than it does the duncan.
