Duncan coral

representative

Green Duncan →

The standard Duncan: brown-to-tan tubular polyps with bright fluorescent green oral discs and centers that glow under blue light.

Tip: A great beginner LPS — give it low-to-moderate light and gentle flow, and spot-feed meaty foods to encourage rapid branching.

representative

Neon / Purple-tip Duncan →

Morphs showing neon-green tentacles with purple or pink oral discs and tips, valued for stronger color contrast.

representative

Neon Green Duncan →

The classic hobby Duncan: a **bright neon green** oral disc and skin with pale, fuzzy sweeper tentacles, glowing strongly under actinic light. The most widely sold color of the species.

Tip: An easy beginner LPS — place low under low-to-moderate light and gentle flow, and target-feed small meaty foods to speed up head splitting.

representative

Purple-Tip Duncan →

A morph with green or teal centers and contrasting purple/lavender tentacle tips. A step up in collectibility from the plain green.

Tip: Purple tips need stable alkalinity and clean water to hold — feed regularly but keep nutrients in check, as dirty water dulls the tips toward plain tan.

representative

Orange/Gold Duncan →

A warm orange-to-gold tentacle morph, less common and more striking than the standard green. Often shows a green oral center for contrast.

Tip: Keep lighting moderate — intense PAR can wash the warm tones; the orange holds far better in a well-fed, mid-light placement than under blasting halides.

representative

Rainbow Duncan →

A multicolor named line blending green centers with orange, purple and pink tentacles. The premium designer duncan, sold at a steep markup over plain green.

Tip: Multicolor pigments need stable parameters and regular feeding to all show at once; place where colonies get even light, since shaded heads in a clump revert toward brown.

representative

Blastomussa-look / Blue Center Duncan →

A collectible morph with a rare blue or teal oral disc against green tentacles, sometimes marketed for its blasto-like coloring. Uncommon and pricier.

Tip: Blue/teal centers are the first color to fade under poor conditions — keep PAR moderate and consistent and avoid sudden lighting upgrades that bleach the center.

representative

Neon Green / Toxic Green Duncan →

A higher-pigment Duncan whose oral discs and tentacle bases blaze an electric, almost toxic neon green under actinic lighting.

Tip: Use a healthy dose of blue/actinic spectrum to maximize the neon fluorescence; keep flow gentle so the fleshy polyps stay fully extended.

representative

Aussie Duncan →

Australian-collected Duncans often noted for fuller, fatter polyps and crisp green-on-brown contrast compared to typical Indo imports.

Tip: Treat like any Duncan — moderate light, low flow, regular feeding — and give branching colonies room to spread across the rock.

representative

Aussie Mint Green Duncan →

A wild-collected Australian Duncan with a cool, soft **mint-green** center and tentacles carrying **purple undertones**, giving a more pastel look than the harsh neon grades. Tends to grow in a tight, bushy formation.

Tip: Mount low under low-to-moderate light with gentle flow; the softer mint pigment holds best when it isn't pushed under high-PAR lighting. Peaceful and easy to keep; benefits from occasional feeding of zooplankton or mysis.

representative

Aussie Teal Duncan →

An Australian Duncan grade with a distinctly **teal/green** center paired with **purple tentacles**, sitting between blue and green for an unusual cool-toned center.

Tip: Place on the sandbed or low rock under low-to-moderate light and gentle flow to keep the teal hue from bleaching toward plain green. Hardy and peaceful; occasional target feeding helps it grow.

representative

Aussie Ultra Neon Duncan →

A top-grade wild Australian Duncan picked for an **ultra-bright neon green** disc, the most vivid end of the standard green Duncan range, with the usual pale sweeper tentacles.

Tip: Keep under low-to-moderate light and moderate flow; the neon green fluoresces best under a blue-heavy LED/T5 spectrum. An easy beginner LPS.

representative

Green & Purple Duncan →

The archetypal wild Duncan look — a **green oral disc** with a contrasting **purple ring/tentacle tinge**. The bicolor pattern most people picture when they think of a Duncan.

Tip: Place on the sandbed or low rock under low-to-moderate light and gentle flow; it tolerates a wide range and is forgiving for new reefers.

representative

Purple Duncan →

A sought-after oddball grade with **heavily purple** polyps — purple skin and tentacles with little to no green — instead of the usual green-dominant look.

Tip: Keep under moderate (not high) light and gentle flow; excessive intensity tends to drive Duncans back toward green and can wash out the purple.

representative

WWC Dream Catcher Duncan →

A standout aquacultured Duncan with a glowing **neon green mouth/oral disc** ringed by a **grape-purple** band, finished with long, sweeping feeder tentacles that can extend several inches. The high-contrast green-on-purple combo and exaggerated polyp length set it apart from standard green stock.

Tip: Place on the lower-to-mid sandbed or a low rock shelf under low-to-moderate light (around 125 PAR) and gentle-to-moderate flow so the long tentacles fully extend. Target-feed quality frozen food about once a week to speed up head splitting.

representative

Jason Fox Epic Neon Green Duncan →

A Duncan selected for an exceptionally bright, saturated **neon green** oral disc that pops hard under blue/actinic lighting, with the typical pale sweeper tentacles. A top-color green grade rather than a multi-color piece.

Tip: Run under medium light and medium flow as the vendor specifies; too much intensity can wash out the neon green while too little dulls it, so a mid-tank spot is ideal. An easy, forgiving LPS for new reefers.

representative

ORA Duncan →

An aquacultured Duncan with **intense green** coloration that glows under actinics, notable for a **compact, tightly clustered branching form** rather than the long, spread-out branches of typical wild imports.

Tip: Give it low-to-moderate light and moderate flow; the compact growth handles a range of conditions. Though photosynthetic, it benefits from occasional target feedings of meaty foods such as mysis or enriched brine.
