Duncan coral!?

[UKJIG]

My Duncan frag has closed up after falling off the rock it was placed on. Do you think it will recover?

 

[Coastie Reefer]

I'm sure it's fine. Probably just a little upset.

Duncans are fairly tough...they can close up for a couple days but they bounce back.

 

[slipknotgrrl83]

Mine closes for up to 5 days occasionally. Normally it's either sprouting a new head or just sulking. I wouldn't worry

 

[Reefer1978]

Agree, it should be fine. I don't see any damage on them.

Duncans are beasts. Had a dead colony due to salt swint and magic came right back. Amazing

 

[UKJIG]

Looks to be doing just fine. Just as everyone of you said. Thanks!

Do Duncan corals eventually attach to live rock naturally?

 

[slipknotgrrl83]

Not sure on that one as mine is on a frag plug

Duncan is really growing and doing great. Here is a pic from today.

My Duncan is slowly encrusting the putty I used to attach it to the rock. Here is a picture showing what I mean.

Certainly isn't doing it overnight. That's about 6 months of growth.

Is that a bubble pearl coral in the back ground?

Duncans do prefer to be placed on a sandy bottom.

Yes it is!
