| Reef Shark | Duncan I am looking at a Duncan Coral. Are they a very popular coral. They are very expensive, but are they worth it? Who here has them and who wants them? Also how difficult are they to keep? Are they more photosynthetic or are they more planktonic feeders? Thanks-Michael Also waht is a fair per polyp price?

| Excellent Guesser :D | Re: Duncan They are both photosynthetic and feedable like a candy cane. They are from Australia's reefs. As to whether they are worth it?.... Depends on how much you like them. I personally haven't seen one I can't live without. I have seen them for sale as a regular size and an extra lg polyp variety. Don't know if those are different species or just what they described them as. Around here is $40 per polyp so far.

| Tridacna maxima | Re: Duncan it could have been but was marked wrong. i never really looked good to be honest, not a big fan of them or polyps in general.
