Very Large Duncans....how much bigger?(pics)

[luke33]

How large will Duncan's get? I have a 4 head duncan that is now over 4" each head, is that normal? Here's the big one with a 4" rock beauty angel next to it for comparison. The second pic shows the normal duncan thats about 1.5" head size.

Mine are like that...maybe more like 2 1/2 inches in diameter for the main part of the polyp and then the long flowing tenticles. I have about 8 heads so it is a nice size colony. Nice looking one you have there .

looks like the front most polyp is sprouting a new head on the left of it

My LFS has a huge colony in one of their display tanks and it is about the size of a soccer ball! As a matter of fact, they are continually cutting frags from it and I have an 11 head frag, LOL!

I have a duncan colony that has around 70+ heads ill take a pic tomorrow because i have algae on my glass and it is kind of receded now.

70+ heads......wow! I have a few sprouting on the large one. The small one has 8 small heads sprouting from it. They seem like fairly quick growers. Just didn't realize the individual heads grew so large.

Do you have any more pictures? with more light? What color are they? How many heads did you have when you first got them?
