Let's See your Duncans!!

[Darryn Lyon]

Mine is growing like crazy, and is starting to grow heads everywhere now. (All around the stem) Is this color OK, or does it look bleached at all? I'm just not sure, and I'm just worried it's getting too much light. It's super happy and gets huge every day, and is an aggressive eater.

Let's see 'em!

Mine looks like a torch. Lol. First pic under whites, second under blue.

 

[Darryn Lyon]

That looks wild!! Nice.

Thanks. Haven't seen too many with the long skirt. The mother colony I got it from has craaaaazy long skirts. It was in a 10 gallon tank and reached about 1/4 across the tank. Wierdest one I had ever seen, so I got a piece. Lol. Honestly, had I not seen the mom, I would be sure I was doing something wrong.

I'm still new to a lot of aquatics and the like. There are different species and colors and types of duncans, yes?
I always see other duncans that are all sorts of crazy colors and I keep worrying mine is bleached or something.

 

[ReeferMaddness843]

I am really unsure if there are different species. There are other colors and growth patterns. Again, haven't done a lot of research into it to know what exactly causes these patterns and colorations.

 

[ReeferMaddness843]

Mine, personally, are in top half of tank center so they catch pretty chaotic and heavier flow. Pretty sure that has something to do with the long skirts tho

Not the best picture. Started with 3 heads...last count had 19 :)

 

[Darryn Lyon]

Wow, that's a gorgeous colony!

 

[AllSignsPointToFish]

Thanks. I'll see if I can post a better pic when I get home. You can see the Duncan second from right.

Here is my colony, it's a branching Duncan.

It's a bit larger than a softball. It grew from2 heads in about a year.

 

[Darryn Lyon]

Nice! Lol now I feel dumb posting my tiny little baby duncan. These are all awesome. I can't wait for mine to get that large. Does the color of my duncan strike anyone as being bleached at all?

 

[JasReef]

I think it looks alright. Don't worry about it being small for long, I stopped spot feeding mine because it grows so fast when I do.

 

[1979fishgeek]

Colour looks fine, if it's growing it's happy. Mine was very pale grey when I got it, but soon turned shades of pink and green. Don't think they are too fussy about light as long as they get acclimated to it correctly.

I don't spot feed mine, but it gets a few pellets which the fish miss. Very fond of Duncan's.

I have 2 more colonies if I can find the pictures
