CA2OR Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 You and me both. But I am working on a solution. Might be upgrading tanks and getting dual 175wMH with dual 96w VHO's.(fingers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectra Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Pic was probably taken when it first came in. I have found that almost all corals do not keep there color from when you get them in your tank. I have some sweet loooking acans and they have all changed colors from day one. Even my duncans now have lost the green they had when they were new and smaller. They are still green but not with the pop they had. Hope the color stays as that is one you do not see everyday.

CA2OR Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Sure, incomming PM. I hope they keep color when they arrive as well. Will be quite upset if they don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefin' Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Wow! Those are pretty colorful.....I've notice with both pics the tentacles don't look expanded....don't look happy....u better rescue them! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 That is the hope. I am a little worried that I wont like them in comparison to what I already have. The color will be different and nice but I am a stickler for how it looks. Don't want mine to make those look sick or decrepid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakkzz Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I'm really liking the Duncan's. I haven't had them yet but think I am going to find some. Thank you for the great picts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 fakkzz- Duncans are great easy corals to keep. Low light requirements, and grow like mad if you feed them. They are a lot like a candycane coral, but have the tentacles out all the time. They will take food almost non-stop. I have sometimes fed them more than one time in a day, they just keep grabbing food and eating... Little pigs. I am just waiting for mine to grow enough to have the flesh separate enough to cut. Actually, I will probably just let mine continue to grow so I can get a big colony of them. They look cool that way. Eric- I love the color of those. I also hope that they retain some of that color. Where are you getting them from? dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean In a Box Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 If you ever want to see what they look like before you buy them you can come by and look at mine. I have a variety in stock typically always have about 200-300 in stock. And I dont mind you coming in for camparison purposes. you would just need to pm me to set up a time.

jadams7 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Yea I definitely might need to look into getting some duncans...never had them before and dont know why... What do you guys feed them, if at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I feed freeze-dried plankton chunks that I re-hydrate for a minute or so in tank water. Squeeze them to get out all the air bubbles. I have also fed frozen myssis, and frozen brine shrimp. I have even given small pieces of silverside about the size of this letter "O". If it fits in the mouth, it is food. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Those look great. I have 2 colors. One has stayed the same color from the day I bought it, the other changed a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 I love feeding them. I feed mine, squid, krill, pods, mysis, and occasionally my favorite, live guppies.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean In a Box Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I have a website and a warehouse which isnt open to the public at this point and time. My website is down due to a lot of major renovations and additions. I love the duncans too, one of my all time fav's. I really like the blue and purple ones. They are my 2nd favorite only to the Dendros. There is also a NEON green duncan which I have in my personal tank at home which is wicked looking. This one is in my tank at home. Here is a pic of the largest duncan colony I have ever had. Almost 175 heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
