Duncan F6

Duncans are extremely attractive, large polyp corals, that make great additions to marine tanks. They feature wide teal oral discs that sport masses of short, purple tentacles.

These corals are a relatively easy species to care for, thanks to their resilient nature and their ability to cope with a range of light conditions. In addition, this is a peaceful coral species. They will not harm neighbouring corals but they should still be given space to allow growth. This makes Duncan corals a great option for the beginner hobbyist.

Healthy Duncans can grow quickly in lower light conditions and moderate flow rates. Low current speed is important to allow the coral to feed easily. If water flow is too fast then the corals ability to capture prey can be hampered.

Duncan corals host photosynthetic algae but they can benefit from occasional feeding. Duncans can be target fed plankton or meaty foods, such as mysis shrimp or brine shrimp.
