Duncan coral

Origin:

 The Duncan coral, also known as Duncanopsammia axifuga,Originating from the Indo-Pacific region, the Duncan coral thrives in a well-established reef tank with stable water conditions. It prefers moderate to high lighting and moderate water flow. 

 

Tanksetup:

 When setting up the tank for the Duncan coral, 20 galllon tank with medium flow works best.

 

Water perameters:

 ensure that the water parameters are within the following ranges: temperature between 75-80°F (24-27°C), salinity of 1.024-1.026, pH level of 8.1-8.4, and alkalinity of 8-12 dKH. Regular water testing and maintenance are crucial to maintain these parameters. 

​

Feeding:

Feeding the Duncan coral is relatively easy as it primarily relies on photosynthesis. However, it will benefit from supplemental feedings of zooplankton or phytoplankton. Target feeding can be done using a turkey baster or pipette, directly placing the food near the coral's tentacles.
