ok
I have seen 2 colonys of Duncanopsammia Axifugia
which came from Julian Sprang . one is at the Pratt institute 280g reef project another at deepwaterextreme. both did not have that grassy green color wich some people try to see at ORA duncans. also i noticed that duncans react different to different conditions . for example : deepwaterextreme colony stays in LPS dominated tank and get extremely long tentacles(ihave seen 6") when in pratt sps system they are short. BTW i did not noticed a any size differences between this colonys and my wild cough ? from reefready dot net 2 head frag . babys are small
this is an image of another colony from the frag made by Randy at pratt institute ( i hope EZEE do not mind) compare and see for your self

What were you trying to say about the duncan you got from reefready? Sorry I couldn't really understand it with the typos. 
My adult ORA polyps are usually around 4" but I've seen them expand to 6". In the pic they were not fully open. I can't remember exactly how big they were but judging from the egg crate I'd say they were probably 3" tip to tip. My ORA expands the most during the day.

that is just awesome . 3" single head. reefreadys never got that big and they heve a bunch of babies lust month. Viper ! it is an excellent picture with flush you got there. do you think you have a pick with a white light? all the pics with a green color i know is the ones from the vendors, and would love to see it in some regularly jit tank.
wow 3". may be i should find out what happened with ORA duncans all this years

Currently, I have 1 BIG polyp that gets about the size of a poker chip... maybe 1 1/2" the other 4 are like dime sized... Short stubby tentacles. I think that the big one is still growing and is yet an adolescent though? I have other duncans but they a very small... dime sized Purple Bodied with short yellow tentacles
Here in my frag tank are some early morning shots... so she is not yet fully open but compare her to the nearby Dendro C., Dedro A. and Balano ect... You can even see my baby Rhizo
