Duncan's Corals... Growing Like A Weed!!!

SaltwaterGeek · 03-04-2008, 08:39 AM

I had bought a 3 headed piece from the LFS about 2 months ago. I've been target feeding it every other day with cyclopees, and now its has 13! I didn't realize that Duncan's have the ability to grow that quickly. Just thought I would share that...

Awesome growth. The duncan Corals are some of the easiest corals to keep. Plus they do grow like crazy. It jsut sucks that they are so expensive. I imagine that so many new reefers see them, like them,then see the price. And think they are rare and Difficult to keep. But in all realiy they make a GREAT Beginner coral. I bought a colony from Mr.Coral that had 35 heads. Now it has around 55 heads and many little places where they will sprout out soon. Lets see Some Pics.

Prices vary on them. They are not a super common coral. Most places want anywhere from 20-40 dollars per Polyp.
Mr.Coral has the best prices on them that I have found. Plus he offers a free Duncan frag on any purchase over $75.00
