Single head bought from aquasd personally one of the easiest corals I've ever kept as well as a fast grower the last one I traded started at 2 heads and traded out at 20+(Full heads) after about 1 yr.

This is my other one. I got it five months ago with two heads, now it has around ten heads. Both of mine are under leds and medium flow. They get fed every other day.
 
Question: I have had great success with duncan, frogspawn and hammer. But now they are getting big. I know the frogspawn and hammer will not sting each other, but what about the duncan? Will he be damaged by the others?
 
BUMP. Newbie here. Want one! These are gorgeous! Got the low light, low flow. Are there any corals this shouldn’t be next to? Planning.
 
Yes this coral is so beautiful there must be more out there for us to see
 
I acquired my first duncan about a month ago. It has two heads. Do the heads split, or do they grow new ones off the main stalk?
 
They do not split. New polyps sprout from tissue covered base.

I need to pick up a frag. It's been a while since I've had a duncan. Had one that grew from a single head to over 300 heads. Took about 2 years. It was the size of my head when the tank crashed. I'll see if I can dig up a pic. No promises though. That was around 10 years ago.
 
Ha! I found some pics on my old phone. Took pics of the pics with my new phone because technology eludes me at times and I can't get the old phone to connect to my cloud account.

This was in a 75 gallon. Lit by 6 t5s if I remember correctly.
