Duncan Frag...

[IEreefmaster]

I have a two headed Duncan frag. I am not sure how to keep it. Does light hurt them? I have them right under my Metal Halide Lights and they seem to always be closed up. I don't want to kill them. Also can they be in shade/dark? Again I am not sure where to put them, but they stay closed up? I am feeding Phyto 2 to the tank every other day?

Anyone have any suggestions/experience with this coral?

I have some Duncans and they are doing great. I would try to find a spot that isnt exposed to a lot of light. If you have kind of a shady spot they will probably do better there. Also you dont want them in a high flow area. Being that they are a NPS you need to feed them, I usually feed mine bloodworms, mysis, or cut up shrimp. I went from the 3 heads that I purchased to 10 within 2 months. They should be fed about 2-3 times per week.

Is there a specific way that you feed them? I feed my fish mysis cubes but I wasn't sure if duncans would eat that?
