Duncans look great! I'm really convinced I moved mien up too high I think they are getting too much light.

I recently couldn't find my bi-color and he'd been totally fine previously. Firecracker of personality I really miss him.

Duncans are non-photosynthetic, so they don't need much light. I target feed mine mysis and acan plus every once in awhile (which seems to help) and I do dump a lot of mysis in when I feed my fish so I'm sure it gets some mysis from the regular tank feedings.

Sorry about your blenny that sucks

whaa?? are you sure it isn't YOU that has Kien on your brain ??? I suppose there could be worse things to have on your brain. I'm not sure what those are though.

By the way, Duncans do contain zooxanthella and are capable of photosynthesis.

Hummmm.....and here I was tryin to sound smart because Doug told me they were non-photosynthetic and that they didn't need light, usually when it comes to corals I just take Doug's word for it

Found some info about ducan's and thought I'd share the link

http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...70&pcatid=2670

This info stood out to me:

"In the home aquarium, place in low current areas with low to moderate light."

"Though they feed through photosynthesis via the symbiotic algae zooxanthellae that thrive on the colony, this coral also benefits from regular target feedings of meaty marine foods such as enriched mysis and brine shrimp."

I have a Duncan in my tank and it has learned to open at night instead of in the day as my Angel kept nipping it.

I thought Duncans are "facultative" which is a fancy way of saying they swing both ways.

It is always good to keep your options open.

I've found Duncans to be very forgiving corals. If you don't feed them they will grow slowly. Feed them often and they explode in growth. They prefer low to moderate light and slower flow.
