Aussie Nuclear Duncan

About this coral

Aqua SD’s “Aussie Nuclear Duncan Multiples Available” is a set of large-polyp LPS frags commonly sold as Duncan corals (Duncanopsammia axifuga). In practice, it’s a great choice for reefkeepers who want a hardy, charismatic bottom-dwelling coral that extends fleshy polyps and benefits from targeted feeding. Because “Duncan” is a group name and “Aussie Nuclear” is typically a seller variety label, this product description focuses on general Duncan coral (Duncanopsammia axifuga) care guidance rather than any unverified morph-specific traits.

Features:

• Large-polyp LPS coral that can display full polyp extension when settled.
• Best kept on the bottom/near the sand bed or lower rockwork, where it can receive suitable light without being blasted.
• Generally prefers lower, indirect lighting and should be acclimated gradually if moving it to stronger light.
• Use gentle, non-laminar flow so detritus doesn’t settle on the coral while still maintaining enough water movement.
• Feeding helps: offer small meaty foods suitable for LPS, delivered in a way the coral can capture.
• Multiple frags let you build redundancy and grow out a small cluster over time.
