Sancho Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Ok, I don't get it. I cannot keep duncans happy!!! I lost my first one when I was on vacation last October - not exactly sure what happened. Lost my second one about a month ago - it started to recede. I picked up another one - because I really love duncans - and it's doing 'okay' but not great. The head keeps retracting. It's out during the day but at about this time, it sucks it's head in. All my other duncans have always stayed extended. I'm a duncan killer! same here mine had 8 heads now 1 Link to comment

Slowtwitch Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Do you feed it? My Duncans are in both high and low flow, high and medium light. All are doing great. I spot feed all heads with pellets and frozen. My only problem with them is I can't seem to keep one purple. They all eventually turn green. :^( Link to comment

teenyreef Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I've had frags of my duncans in all three tanks, and it's been interesting to see how they do better on some tanks than in others. They've done equally well in all different levels of flow and lighting. And in some cases they've done just as well without feeding. The only place they haven't done well is in the 10g tank, but that was at a time when the hammers weren't doing well either. I had swapped the sickly hammers with the duncans in the 4g tank so that they could recover. As soon as a I put the duncans in the 10g tank, they didn't do nearly as well for about a month. But then whatever it was that was bad in that tank seemed to go away, because they started doing better. So I swapped them back again and the hammers are now doing great in the 10g tank. So all that's a long way of saying I have no idea why your duncans aren't doing well Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Mine did great and multiplied under led, now it's under mostly white light. When my palys get moved, I'll move the duncans closer to the par bulb and move the toadstool to the left. Link to comment
kimberbee Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Like ninja said... You should try more heads. I kept losing hammers/torches/frogspawns, but I was buying the cheapest single head pieces. Last new hammer I got has 3 heads and it's been happy for a few months. I wont buy single heads of anything ever again! Link to comment

So all that's a long way of saying I have no idea why your duncans aren't doing well ha! this is good info. I like hearing everyone's stories as it helps me figure out what I should try next with my duncan Like ninja said... You should try more heads.

ReefWeeds Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 A few fotos for this Monday: I thought this was cool. A little tunicate on a lobo: Also, my duncan is looking much better! Purple tree: Acans: Cinnamon polyp: Pinstripe favia: Two of the five redspots: Corkies: Another shot of the cardinals (it is impossible to get a photo of all five of them together): You can see all of them in this shot if you look closely: Link to comment

They're red spot glass cardinals - really small. I think they get to an inch and a half max and like to be in groups Link to comment
