New Duncan

[shaggyblz]

Just wanted to post some pics of the new Duncan I got yesterday. 10 large heads and 3 small. Not a bad price either $50.00.

What a score!!!! 13 heads for $50.. You made out like a bandit!!!

Feed them regularly and they will grow fast and big!!!

 

[shaggyblz]

Just wondering, I feed marine snow and mysis. What are you suppose to feed these guys and how often? I've done a little research, but I'd like to know what you guys use.

Wow!
it cost me 25 for two heads, but I got three more coming.
I alternate Zoo, Phyto and Oyster eggs for the whole tank, feeding every other day, and then target feed my Duncan Arctic Pods once a week or so.
I got three new babies coming

I feed my dungans raw shrimp. Cut to the size of a pin head, 2-3x weekly. Since I've been feeding them, they grown tremendously.

That almost looks like my duncan. About the same size, too! I spot feed mine brine with the powerheads and return off so that they can grab it easier. They love it.

LPS can't utilize phyto. Not many corals can. It does benefit coral feedings in that it will help keep your pods population happy.

What about Polyps and Dusters? I thought they could.
In any case, even if it's not benefitting them, my angel loves it.

i found some at a lfs and they were asking $80 for 10 heads is that a good deal, and what does a frag on one head run most of the time.

 

[shaggyblz]

$8 a head is a great deal. LFS's around me usually sell theirs for $15-$25 a head.

 

[cedarreef]

That's a great deal. They go for around $35 a head by me, but I got a 13 head one for $80 because I'm friends with the owner.

Not sure what type of polyp you mean. Yes on the dusters eating it. But your Duncan can't use it and neither can fish. I'm just talking about the phytoplankton, not the zooplankton or oyster eggs.

$20-$25 a head around here. I got one from a fellow reefer (3 heads) for $20. It now has a 4 heads and 2 more coming.

When I feed the scorps on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I also feed the Ducans a small hunk of meat.

 

[mr.reef]

ok well the place that i found them are 2 hours away and i will call and see if they will hold them for me if they are not already gone.

 

[mr.reef]

ok i got them i got 17 heads for 80 dollors and 12 are big heads.

I bought a duncan about 9 mo ago w/ 13 heads for $130. Here it is after shipping and another pic a couple months ago. I feed mine mysis and cyclopeeze about once a week and it has done pretty well. It now has over 30 heads and a lot of new calcium/bone growth. Hope you like.

 

[shaggyblz]

I always like Duncans. You have the start of a nice colony.

 

[pezenfuego]

I got one today. 7 heads for 35 bucks. 5 bucks a head is pretty nice

Hasn't opened yet

It has never seen my lights though.
