[Myka]

None of you guys have any Duncan pics??

[Aquattro]

I just picked up a 2 headed "colony" , no pics yet though

[marie]

Mine will be here tomorrow so you'll have to wait :biggrin:

[Myka]

Did you guys order them from J&L? I saw they had them in again. :)

[Aquattro]

No, mine was from Safari Pets here in town.

[surgeonfish]

I just bought mine from J&L - approx 10 heads. Should arrive Tuesday. What conditions do you have yours in?

[Snappy]

Mine are at the bottom of my tank so I never think to take pictures of them.

[Chaloupa]

Mine also are at the middle bottom and very bottom of the tank, and difficult to take pics of due to the lighting....but I do really like them! :biggrin:

[Myka]

Mine are in a VERY shady area with almost no flow. It's the only place I can get full polyp extension, but as you can see in my pic, mine still don't have great polyp extension.

[marie]

I've only had them half an hour but here you go

[Myka]

Wow, Marie, you're getting great PE on those!! Mine seem to be like rage's...kinda stubby. Nice one rage! BIG one! How long did it take to reach that size? Mine sure grows slow...

[rage]

would u beleive me if i told u i went from a 2 polyps brach to 22 in about 3 months?
these duncans are different, bigger, more colorful , hardier, and alot more expensive!!:twised: Also i feed mine huge chuck of food almost daily, and it keeps on asking for more, i can easily feed it fresh small shrimp without cutting them, that how big the polyps are ...

[tang daddy]

Yah duncans are definately cool!!

I had one that started off as one head grew to 5 but then fell and got stung, only 1 head got stung but the rest eventually followed suit. I got another one with 1 head from Clint a few months back it's close to 10 now. Myka if you feed yours with pieces of mysis of fresh prawn you will see it grow much faster... I got tired of feeding everyday so now it's once every 2 weeks.

[Myka]

I'm going to start feeding mine....it started off as 2 heads in September, and as soon as it got into my tank it started developing 2 new heads. Now the new heads are the same size as the original two, but I see no signs of producing more heads yet, and it's been 7 months!!!!

Myka, If you want if you want more tentacle extension have you tried puting them where there is bit more flow?

here's a pic of mine tonight, as you can see the flow is pretty good (at least compared to yours)

[Myka]

Ya, mine get SUPER stubby if I put them in medium flow. Mine have very little flow where they are, and little light too. I can't seem to make them very happy...they have the best PE in the dark when the lights are off! They tend to retract several times a day too.

...they have the best PE in the dark when the lights are off! They tend to retract several times a day too.

Oh, mine act more like the euphyllias they retract at night and extend during the day :confused: .

[Myka]

Ok...so they're opposites! :lol:

[surgeonfish]

Oh, mine act more like the euphyllias they retract at night and extend during the day :confused: .

I got mine from J&L last Tuesday. 11 heads. They are looking really nice and mine also retract at night. I will try and post pictures tomorrow.

[Chaloupa]

mine as well are out in full force during the day and retract at night....it's a nice coral. Mine has several heads now and started with just 1 on each frag. AND the added bonus is that no pests bother them!:biggrin:

[Myka]

Ok, so mine are tweaked! I just moved mine to see what happens...maybe they will decide they like more flow and more light.

[marie]

and the tentacles just keep getting longer and longer

[Myka]

Holy wowzers marie!! They look awesome! Mine are actually very happy in their new location. I'll get a new pic soon here...

[EmilyB]

Man, I think I just killed a bunch of those things......:lol:

[Myka]

Why's that? They're worth $15/head. :)

[Lance]

Just got mine today from O/A 5 heads for the price of 4. Gotta like that:biggrin:
