Well after feeding my Duncans, I found there are 4 new heads growing on it. Pic's not the greatest but you can see the new heads.

Nice to see the new growth on it.

Nice growth Mark. Have you been tempted to frag it yet?

Here's a pic of my two duncan's. I'll try to get a better pic of it alone. I sold the small one to help fund my LED fixture.

Very nice, I can not bring myself to selling or trading mine.
I like them way too much!

I am not sure! I have asked that question on this thread before with no definite answer. It certainly looks like there are different varieties around.

Yes, it is truely amazing how fast these corals can bud new heads.

No,not at all,I like corals to grow to their maximum size for my tank before I frag them.

I just picked up this little guy with 5 babies a couple days ago.

 

[garetjax]

Nice pick up. Feed it and it will grow like weeds LOL.

I bought just 3 polyps for $45 back in 2009 roughly when this thread started. I'm up to about 30 now but it would be a lot more if I didn't frag this coral often. Just last week I cut another 8 polyps off. I suppose if I had left it alone it would be twice this size by now. I don't target feed it anything, I've kept it in the rocks as well as the sand and I've placed it under direct MH lighting as well as in shaded areas. Its extremely adaptive and hardy. Sorry about the cyano... damn biopellets.

 

[kingfisher62]

Great Pics everyone! Keep them coming!

I decided to post a full tank shot to be able to see the size of my ducan polyps in my standard 55G. Sometimes the close up shots are misleading and make it tough to see the actual size. One of my larger frags is on the lower left and a smaller one is upper right.

 

[garetjax]

Great looking tank.

[kingfisher62]

Thanks Garetjax. It is nothing compared to other tanks I see here on RC but for a lowtech, low maintenance tank I am happy with it. The corals and fish are thriving and parameters where they should be.

Sweet, looks like a nice specimen!

I bought all 5 of polyps was 10 months has increased a lot.

this is the first day I put it in my tank but here's mine

I'm hoping it likes this spot as it has a little bit more flow, I can always move him though.
