Thanks Guys!
I loce em!

Now I just have to wait for the Duncans to open.

Craig I will post in the Acan II thread in a couple of days. I'll let these guys get a bit more comfortable first.

Awesome!!! Did you wind up leaving work early or pass up the Trader Joe's trip?

Those acans are a cool color!!

goldenmean · 05-29-2008, 11:41 PM

No Kathy I left work a little after 5pm and I did stop at Trader Joes first. I needed Eggs if I wanted breakfast tomorrow.

Alonzo was home and did a great job in acclimation the corals.

Ah, you are a paragon of patience. Most of us would have had some sort of illness suddenly...

althea2you · 05-30-2008, 12:09 AM

Craig Manoukian · 05-30-2008, 01:49 AM

Thanks in advance Jeff!

Very sweet new corals.
They will look even better once they feel at home.

goldenmean · 05-30-2008, 09:36 AM

Thanks again everyone for stopping by and checking out the new corals.

The Blue Duncan frags started to open over night.
This morning I popped on the actinic lights to snap a pic.
Still cant judge their color yet but I can see some blue going on that isnt just the actinics.

BarbMazz · 05-30-2008, 11:32 AM

Jeff your new stuff is really nice! Glad everything worked out okay, and good for Alonzo for doing a good job.

What can you tell me about Duncans? I haven't read much about them yet, but I loce how they look.. they add a different texture to the tank, and the blues are really nice. I also need some green and/or yellow in the tank.

I'll be reading about them more, but I'd loce some words about your experience with them. I know you have halides... do you know if they do okay under a lot of T5's?

goldenmean · 05-30-2008, 12:32 PM

Barb Ii have read the Duncanopsamia axifuga aka Duncans aka Whisker Corals aka Daisey corals naturally are found in low to medium light (found in deeper waters) but can adjust to higher light levels. I think they could do well under PCs.

Here is a previous thread from RS that Heinz gives some great info!
duncanopsammia-axifuga

I have found mine to be little piggies when it comes to eating,
I have fed them mysis as well as some of my homemade seafood slurry.
Mine must be teenagers cuz they eat like they are bottomless pits.

lol Little Piggies! I loce that expression

Thanks, Jeff, and
Thanks to Heinz by association for the link. I'll do some reading! Initially, sounds like it might be something I can consider.

goldenmean · 05-30-2008, 12:40 PM

Here is another site I found with some useful info on Duncans
Whisker Coral - Duncanopsammia axifuga

I have feed each head a bit of calamari and 10 minutes later they will take more and 10 minutes later even more.

BarbMazz · 05-30-2008, 01:15 PM

That's a good link! Thanks. It's bookmark worthy.

goldenmean · 05-30-2008, 11:15 PM

The "blue" duncans have opened.
They have a more greenish tint to them than blue but They may just be stressed from fragging and shipping.

The Duncans in the back are the ones I have had for a few weeks

A couple shots of the Acan Lord too

kathywithbirds · 05-30-2008, 11:21 PM

wow those are pretty. You have coordinating duncans!!
