Aussie Green Tips Duncan

About this coral

Aussie Green Tips Duncan is a named Duncan coral offered in the LPS coral category. Duncans are fleshy, polyp-forming stony corals suited to established reef aquariums. They can add a branching, colony-forming structure to a reef display. The shop name identifies the variety, but does not establish its exact appearance or a distinct care requirement. The guidance below is general for Duncan corals; adjust placement to the individual coral’s response.

Features:

• Each polyp has a fleshy head and extends feeding tentacles, giving the colony a visibly soft, open appearance when settled.
• Provide moderate light as a general starting point; avoid assuming this named variety needs a special lighting schedule.
• Use gentle to moderate, indirect water movement. Strong, direct flow can keep the fleshy polyps from opening comfortably.
• Place with room around the colony, since neighboring corals may sting it and its own stinging reach can affect nearby corals.

Specifications:

• Care level: Generally suitable for aquarists able to maintain stable reef conditions; acclimate gradually and observe polyp extension.
• Temperament: Generally peaceful in appearance, but stinging contact with neighboring corals is possible; allow space.
• Lighting: Moderate light is a general care starting point; acclimate to the aquarium’s lighting.
• Water flow: Gentle to moderate, indirect flow; avoid a strong direct current.
• Placement: A stable position with moderate light and room from neighboring corals; choose placement based on extension and response.
• Diet: Photosynthetic, and may also accept suitably sized meaty marine foods when feeding tentacles are extended.
• Water conditions: Maintain stable reef-aquarium temperature, salinity, pH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium. No variety-specific target values are established here.
