It should fragable like any other branching LPS. If I can keep up with normal feedings I might be able to get a nice frag in a couple months or so. Duncans are supposed to be fast growers. It's hard to put a price on it since they're so rare, but I know it'll be at least $100+ per polyp.

Hmm...well, maybe eventually I can get a nice selection of corals going, and we'll do a trade. Not for a while though. LOL I'm kind of starting with the cheap stuff (I'm 13..very small budget), but I'd love to get a polyp or two of that stuff.

Haha Dogstar I was about to ask why the heck did it take you so long to ID if you already had one.
Axifugas are photosynthetic, but they don't require high lighting. Minimal PC/VHO lights will suffice. In addition to light, they do need to be spot feed some meaty foods once in a while. I plan on feeding once a day to speed up the growth.

Cool! So you think 2x65 watt PC's over a 20 gallon HIGH would be sufficient? Keep me in mind, when your frag gets large enough to frag.
