    Most likely because thet're from Australia. Also it' still takes a while to branch out and harde than steel to cut::)

    yeah. Duncans grow fast. Which is why I'm not sure why they're so expensive. I started out with two about a year ago and I have...1...2...5...8...I'm not sure. I've lost count. I'm ready to frag them again and start all over. They are clearly the easiest coral I have ever owned. Not even zoas grows that fast. I have a few people eaters that I've had for almost 9 months...and they get excellent water conditions, lighting and probably the best location in the tank...and still? That's right...nothing! I have yet to see any growth.

    I started out with 3 heads maybe 3 months ago, probably less. There are 8-9 heads growing out of the original three now. Very cool.
