My Duncans were hungry today.....and they actually got to close with their food before the tangs stole it LOL
This started as one head...it took months before a 2nd grew...and the last 3 have been recently

I wasnt going to say anything but it looks like your duncan is a PIG! I assume its eating frozen as well

It's so hard to feed them...the tangs keep trying to steal it....if the Duncans don't close fast enough they usually end up with the food

I didn't know that corals are eating too

I don't have coral, I don't know anything about it.
Are they moving from one place to another?

Coral depends on the current to bring food to them. In our tanks we spot feed some of them to make sure they eat and survive. Not all coral needs to be spot fed. When a coral grows like the one Meowzer's picture shows we know we did something right...
Good job Meowzer..

I've only been feeding my corals directly with microplankton, is this ok? They all seem healthy, but if I can get my duncan looking like yours then I'm gonna start handfeeding them some solid stuff!

I'm sure that's fine, BUT some meaty foods are good for them too

I have to distract my fish with some food before I can feed my duncans. Otherwise, they will steal it. I feed mine with a Kent sea squirt and the fish will follow the sea squirt around waiting for food to release. So I will drop some in the corner and then quickly feed the duncans. Works pretty good most of the time.
