What Do You Feed A Duncan Coral?

[reeftankdude]

I have two Duncan coral. They have been doing fine. I feed them a few Hikari Crab Cuisine nuggets twice a week. Not sure I should keep doing that. What say you?

Thanks

They eat almost anything small. Flake food, small pellets, mysis, plankton, small krill. Pretty versatile and not picky

I feed mine pellets or mysis.

Mine are pretty good at grabbing food put of the water when I feed the fish.

I don't target feed mine. They just get what the fish don't.

I started feeding mine and they’ve grown quite well.
I do mysis 2x week.
Started with 3 heads. Now has close to 5 big heads and another 4 smaller ones.

First pic is 29Dec when they closed up and other pics from today

Duncan’s grow like a weed. Feed your fish and other corals and anything floating around they will get. I had to rehome mine… went from 5 heads to 16 in 8 mos. I’m running a small 30l and it was eating up space fast. They are beautiful if you have the room.

I feed mine frozen food a couple times a week when I think about it. Started with 1 big head and 2 small and now have 5 big heads in 6 months.

I bought mine some Snickers bars but they were doing so good catching drifting scraps that I ate the Snickers myself and never worried about target feeding them anything most of the time.

I fragged them a few times and gave away the extras to the LFS until I got tired of doing that and gave the LFS the colony. They were beautiful and fun, for sure.

I had one with 2 heads for 2 years. It died.

I feed mine occasionally and in just a few months mine went from 8 heads to 16+. They get huge so quick!! Any fish food that they can fit in their mounts will do just fine for them. They are pigs and will eat anything!

Or they will die.

I’m ready. It was my first “big” coral buy.

Seeing it grow is what hooked me.

Fish poop and whatever else floats past them. Grows like a weed.
