    I have a Duncan (Duncanopsammia - Toxic Green Stem Duncan Coral cluster 6cm) that extended well for the first 3 weeks after I got it.

    Duncan coral head peeling

    Had this Duncan for around 4 months. It has been perfectly healthy and recently began sprouting new heads. All of a sudden, I come home to see the head is peeling off. Any reasons why?

    Duncan looks weird, spaghetti like strings on base

    I just came back home and noticed this, is that normal? My parameters are normal and haven’t changed. Thank you:)

    New head or Pest?

    I have this Duncan coral that has been forming bulges. And overnight they have cracked open/caved in. I don’t know if this is how Duncans grow new heads or it’s some sort of burrowing pest. the brown tissue within the cracks doesn’t give much confidence

    Duncan looks weird and twisted

    Hey guys! This morning when I came down my Duncan looked all weird and twisted as picture shows. Moved those two hammers that’s above it to that location a few days ago but it should be enough distance for them not to bother the Duncan! Any thoughts? Thanks!

    Is this brown jelly on my duncan?

    I woke up this morning and my duncan was closed and had this covering it. It was fine yesterday. I've been in the hobby less than a year so I'm not sure what to do about this. Pull it and toss it? Is it gone? Can I save it? If so, how?

    Let's see your Duncan Corals!

    Fairy new to the hobby and recently purchased my first Duncan and I'm loving it! They are reactive, they have beautiful colors, appear to be peaceful and even are a good clownfish hoast. I'd love to hear people advice, experiences, and photos!
