    I am looking into getting a duncan and before I fork out 100$ I want to see if there is anything special about them, everything I read the look simple to care for just make sure I feed them. One thing I haven't seen is if they are aggressive?

    They are similar to other LPS corals in the regards to feeding and water movement. I would compare their care to either caulastrea or euphyllia care. Not TOO much light, no overwhelming current but adequate flushing current. Make sure you feed then small meaty food at least once a week, better yet at least twice. Make sure Ca and alk are where they should be and maintain water quality.

    Duncans can be very expensive... Look for someone that frags them, then they will be much more affordable, $20 a head is ridiculous to me.. Midwest Saltwater sells them cheap maybe check there.

    Happy reefing!
