Key facts
- Appearance Description
- Duncan Coral features branching or clustered polyps with elongated tentacles radiating from a central mouth. Coloration ranges from brown and tan to vivid yellow, orange, or green, often with contrasting striped or banded tentacles and a lighter central disc.
- Coloration
- Brown, tan, yellow, orange, or green with striped tentacles and lighter central disc
- Lighting Requirement
- Moderate (100–200 PAR)
- Additional Notes
- Large fleshy LPS with long tentacles and a gentle sway. Each head opens like a flower and they form beautiful branching colonies. Moderate light is ideal. Moderate and indirect flow keeps the tentacles extended without blasting them. They respond well to stable nutrients and will happily eat meaty foods like mysis or small pellets. Growth is steady when conditions are stable. Duncans are forgiving and bounce back from stress more easily than most LPS.
