Placement & Care

Duncan Corals generally thrive under low to moderate lighting with gentle to moderate water movement. Enough flow should be provided to keep the polyps moving naturally without constantly blasting or retracting them.

Allow adequate space between the Duncan and neighboring corals as the colony grows.

Feeding

Although Duncan Corals receive much of their energy through photosynthesis, they can also capture food with their tentacles.

Occasional target feeding with appropriately sized foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, finely chopped marine foods, or quality coral foods may support growth and polyp development.

Growing Your Duncan Colony

Duncans are branching LPS corals capable of developing additional heads under favorable reef conditions. Stable alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, and temperature are important for healthy skeletal growth.

With proper conditions, a small multi-head Duncan can develop into an impressive colony over time.
