What You See Is What You Get
The Duncans
Duncan corals, or Whisker corals, are a beloved LPS, coming in a variety of colors. Hardy and peaceful, these corals are excellent additions to many different types of reef aquariums.
See below for additional care tips for Duncans.
Location
Duncans are found in Australia, including the Great Barrier Reef.
Lighting
Low to moderate lighting is recommended. Duncans are not overly demanding when it comes to light intensity.
Low Light |
Low light is between 30 - 50 PAR per unit area |
Medium Light |
Medium light is between 50 - 150 PAR per unit area |
High Light |
High light is above 150 PAR per unit area |
Water Flow
We recommend keeping the coral in an area with relatively low flow in the aquarium. Duncans kept in high flow areas tend not to open well and have difficulty capturing food from the water column.
Feeding
Like most corals, Duncans rely largely on their zooxanthellae, but in our experience, they also benefit from direct feeding. They can be fed a mixture of meaty foods such as pieces of brine shrimp, mysis, krill with added vitamins and highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA), as well as small pellets.
