Newbie here.
I purchased my Duncan coral a little over a month ago and I’ve been in love with it. The last couple of weeks I’ve noticed that it’ll bulge on the skeleton just underneath the head.
I’m wondering if this looks like growth to anybody who’s had experience with them. One time it...
So I've been struggling with an algae issue slow steady progress now a bit if cyano issue but my question is this. Has anyone seen a duncan behave like this? It's been this way for a month or so now. I left it alone to see if it would settle down but no dice? Any ideas why it would balloon like...
This is going to be a lot to read:
My aquarium is suffering horrendously and I'm embarrassed to call it my own. It's probably the ugliest saltwater aquarium I've ever seen and probably one of the worst ones you've seen. I've been holding off on posting but finally thought it was time to share...
Hey guys!
So I just moved houses which meant taking apart and moving my 20g tank.. what about adventure that was! Everything transported well and I was able to get things back in order. Except my monti cap frag got knocked off the rock work and fell into my Duncan’s!
When I noticed I pulled it...
ok so my duncan coral started to close yesterday and it normally dosent do that but a few other ones did as well and today i noticed that it has a lump on it’s side is this just sprouting a new head or something and if it is why is the smaller one behind it also closed.
ok so i’ve been noticing that some of my lps corals have not been opening up fully such as my frogspawn my duncan and then my blastomusa. the only thing it could be is lighting but here’s some pictures of them and some perameters
ph 8.2
dkh 8
nitrate 2
salinity is 1.024
and i dont have test kits...
Ive been struggling with this Duncan for quite some time now. It hasn't fully opened in roughly a month, this seemingly starting after I got new lights (ocean revive-ran at 30 blues, 8 whites). Now the flesh seems to be receding. It is placed near the middle of the tank, in a low flow area...
Hi all,
I’m new to reefing with a stocked used tank I recently bought. I just re-scaped the tank and one of the anemones is now close to the Duncan. After a couple days the side of the Duncan started to retract and seem unhappy. I turned the Duncan 180 degrees and moved them further apart. The...
Hi all,
I recently bought a new Acan and today I've noticed these arms growing off it that look similar to a colourless Zoa or Duncan head. One of them seems to have detached from the Acan and growing out of a hole in the live rock.
I've never noticed anything like this on my other Acan that...
Hey all, I’ve had a tank for sometime now and just put in this new duncan coral, and I’m wondering what the exact species/family of duncan I have. My friend has one and it’s whiskers are very long but mine are very short. I’ve read stuff about flow and all that, but I’ve changed it around and...
$325 - This Duncan coral is one of a kind. It has grown in a Sea Fan like shape so it does not require much space front to back and is nearly 14" across. No clue how many heads. I have tried to could on several occasions. Sorry for the poor picture quality. It just doesn't give this piece the...
Hi. I have a new Duncan coral, it's seems to be doing well and all of my tank parameters are good, it's open all day but as soon as I feed my pair of de vinchi clowns it closes up. It's only ever one head that closes and then it opens again about an hour or so later.
Does anyone have any idea...
Hi all! So I am still new to the hobby and recently inherited a new (to me) established reef tank. For the first few days my Duncan coral looked beautiful and was fully open. But starting yesterday afternoon it’s only opening about half way and the stem has brown on the lower part. I’m not...
I’ve had my Duncan for about 4 days now. I understand it may take some time to open. However it has a brown /white slime over it. Any ideas as to why?!

Well boys & girls, my time has come. My apartment complex got a new manager and she caught win of my tank. Guess anything over 20 gallons is not allowed and I got a 50g -_-
TBH not mad tho- I've really busy with personal life and can't keep up with WC's. I...
Hi all,
So I have 4 frags, now what do I do with them? :)
They are still new to my tank, only a couple of weeks old, so I realize the first thing I do is wait... but what is the path to the endgame of permanently placing them?
I have a Zoa, Duncan coral, Candy cane coral, and a mushroom...
Just moved my duncan to a different spot this morning. I came back this afternoon to this. Mouth is hard to see but looks opened up. I have other duncans close by that are doing just fine. And I didn't move him far from where he was. Maybe 5 inches. This particular duncan had been acting strange...
Not sure but my Duncan looks to be stretched out, or reaching up to the light. Is it not close enough to the top for light, or is this normal.
It has been like this since I got it a month ago. My tank specs are 8 gallon cube, kessil A80 tuna blue, 1.025 salinity, and been running for 6 months

There is a weird almost yellow substance on my Duncan’s. They were fully open two days ago but now they are all ticked off and shrunk. Does anyone know
Good morning. A new frag to me of two days has disintegrated approximately 60% of its flesh. From the moment it arrived it did not open, and today I flushed out a rotting mess. I consider this to be part of the trade off of buying frags, but still disappointed that it is not doing well. BUT...
Hi all,
after picking on the newly introduced cleaner shrimp, my foxface now also starts picking at my Duncan (also introduced last Sunday).
Is this common behaviour?
Best regards and thanks,

Welcome to my 75 gallon tank build thread! I hope you enjoy the progress of my tank that I started in August of 2017. First we'll begin with all the tank info on this post (with pictures), and the start of my tank on the second. See the last post for the most recent update. Thanks for viewing...
I've been on the periphery of the hobby for over a year now. As soon as I stumbled into it I was hooked. The combination of science, art, and living pets inspired me deeply. I instantly went from not even knowing about the hobby to suddenly wanting to know everything! To make sure I didn't jump...
