    Well, I have seen these around lately and have really liked the way they look....so I got one. I really like it's color and shape and hope it will grow to a nice colony some day. I was reading that they like low to moderate flow and like to be placed toward the bottom of the tank. Does that sound right? I was almost thinking of putting it in the sand bed up against a rock. Also, will my clowns host it possibly?

    "Feed me Seymour" If you spot feed them at least twice a week they will grow really fast. Here are some pictures of my Purple lace Duncan's.

    I just fragged my colony, got three nice pieces out of it each had around 12 to 14 heads. When I got it last year it was three heads.

    Oh yeah my clowns, all three of them never looked at them twice. Could be because the Duncan's tentacles are pretty sticky, the can grab on to things pretty tightly.
