Thanks Mark!!!


That's a great shot too Reffer831!!!

I was surprised there weren't more Actinic shots in this thread...

Here is my contribution. I don't feed them directly, because the current always carries uneaten fish food right to them. My cleaner shrimps are always stealing what the ducans catch. You can see one lurking in the shadows. 15 big polyps with many small babies.

Yeah, I know what you mean . Those large polyps do a good job picking up any food flowing by.

I have fragged it 3 times, they just keep growing....just feed them. I choose coral frenzy.

my pride and joy!

Here is a pic of my duncan. I count about 70 polyps. It really doesn't look like it from the picture, but they are there. Its only possible to count in the morning when the lights just turn on and they are all pulled in. All the duncans in this thread are great!!!



P.S. I cannot get the image as large as you guys, please have pity on a newbie and tell him how to do this. Thanks

Duncans at the Berlin Zoo Aquarium:

Huge colonies, and the polyps were so well expanded and big that it took me a bit to realize what I was looking at. The lighting is a bit too yellow for my tastes, though.

Just got this a few days ago!!

 

[kingfisher62]

Great new shots everyone!
This is why duncans have become one of my favorite corals!

 

[SaltwaterAdict]

Does feeding lps like duncans have a big impact on growth/health?

Awesome shot of your ducans everyone, can't wait to come across some!

 

[LAKEM0NSTER]

I don't spot feed but I know my duncans are getting fed; they're constantly growing new heads....Extra brine shrimp always ends up on the duncans. It seems to make mine happy!

I need to get some pics posted up...

 

[aecasasus]

Here's ours... Started with only one head, now (7 months later) we got 13 heads!

Started with 2 heads, one year later there are probably 20+

I spot feed mysis and brine and I think it helps the grow faster imo
