Duncan Coral

[emilios_reeftank]

Hey guys I got a Duncan coral and have been doing a lot of research on them.... I’ve got every polar opposite answer. I’ve heard they like strong flow and high light to low flow with medium light. What are your guys opinions. The reason I’m asking is because one side of the Duncan is almost constantly being hit with flow. It is open and extended but the one side is being almost folded into to center. Let me know what you guys think

I promise I'm not trying to give you MORE conflicting answers, but I have had duncans in both, and they do fine in whatever. I actually have a duncan in high flow and one in low flow, one is high light one is medium, and they both are equally healthy. I would say put it somewhere you think would be good, and don't move it.

Duncan was the first frag I bought for my tank, over two years ago. There was wild swings on all parameters. At one point I got a contamination in my tank that stressed everything out. It survived all of that. Went from 1.5 heads to an uncountable number. Just feed them and they will do great. Very hardy.

I have a Duncan that was in my 6' tank with high flow and did fine. I moved it to my nano to make some room and there it had much less flow....just the return pump and no power head. The only difference is the polyps are a lot bigger/longer in the low flow and it seems to have grown a little faster there(that could be due to higher nutrients in the nano).
