Duncans Coral (Duncanopsammia axifuga)

(Also known as Whisker Coral, Duncanopsammia Coral, or Duncan Coral)

Overview

The Duncan Coral (Duncanopsammia axifuga) is a hardy and attractive large-polyp stony (LPS) coral, highly valued for its long, fleshy tentacles and ease of care. Each polyp features a round, button-like mouth surrounded by gently waving tentacles in shades of green, purple, or brown, often with bright neon centres. Colonies grow by sprouting new polyps from a branching skeletal base, forming compact, dome-shaped clusters. Peaceful and tolerant, Duncanopsammia is an ideal coral for beginners and experienced reef keepers alike, offering elegant motion and a strong feeding response under gentle flow.

Origin

Native to the Coral Sea, Great Barrier Reef, and surrounding Indo-Pacific regions. Found in shallow lagoons and reef slopes at moderate depths, typically in areas with gentle to moderate water movement and indirect light.

Feeding

The Duncan Coral is photosynthetic, containing zooxanthellae that provide much of its nutrition through photosynthesis. However, regular supplemental feeding promotes faster growth and fuller polyp extension. Offer 1–2 feedings per week of:

  • Mysis shrimp or enriched brine shrimp
  • Finely chopped marine meats or plankton blends
  • LPS-specific coral foods or marine snow

Feed when tentacles are extended — typically in the evening or under low flow. The coral’s polyps will readily close around food and ingest it.

Lighting

Moderate lighting. Provide balanced illumination using LED, T5, or metal halide lighting.

  • PAR range: 100–200 ¬µmol/m¬≤/s
  • Too much direct light may cause retraction or bleaching.
  • Blue-spectrum lighting enhances the coral’s vibrant green centres and tentacle glow.
Water Flow

Low to moderate, indirect flow. Gentle, variable movement allows for natural tentacle sway and debris removal. Avoid direct, high-intensity flow that could damage polyp tissue or cause excessive retraction.

Placement
  • Place on rockwork or sandy substrate in the lower to middle regions of the tank.
  • Ensure the base is stable and not shaded by larger corals.
  • Allow 5–10 cm (2–4 inches) of space from other corals — Duncans are peaceful but can be stung by aggressive neighbours.
Tank Mates

Reef safe and peaceful. Compatible with:

  • All peaceful reef-safe fish (clownfish, gobies, tangs, blennies, etc.)
  • Invertebrates such as shrimp, snails, and hermit crabs
  • Other LPS, soft, and non-aggressive corals

Avoid:

  • Aggressive or stinging corals (e.g., Galaxea, Hydnophora)
  • Large angelfish, butterflyfish, or puffers that may nip at fleshy tissue
Aggression

Peaceful.Duncanopsammia does not extend long sweeper tentacles and coexists well with other peaceful species. However, it can be damaged by more aggressive corals if placed too close.

Experience Level

Beginner.Duncans are among the easiest LPS corals to care for, making them ideal for new reef keepers. They tolerate a wide range of lighting and flow conditions, respond well to feeding, and grow steadily under stable parameters.

Water Parameters
  • Temperature: 24–27°C (75–81°F)
  • pH: 8.1–8.4
  • Salinity: 1.024–1.026 SG
  • Hardness (dKH): 8–12
  • Calcium: 400–450 ppm
  • Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm
  • Nitrate: <10 ppm
  • Tank Size: Minimum 75 gallons (280L) recommended for stability and colony growth

Stable calcium and alkalinity levels are essential for skeletal development and polyp health.

Reef Compatibility

Fully reef safe. The Duncan Coral is a beautiful, low-maintenance coral that adds soft movement and natural colour contrast to mixed or LPS reef aquariums. Its tolerance, peaceful nature, and strong feeding response make it one of the best beginner-friendly LPS corals available.

Great Fast Charging Cords
Color: White
My wife and I bought these when we had some traveling coming up and wanted to make sure our phones would stay charged. I'm very happy we did. The cords felt high quality as soon as we opened the package, so I'm confident they will last longer than our previous charging cords did. They are also SO LONG! If you've never used cords this long before, its a life changer. Being able to sit several seats away from the outlet at the airport and still have your charging cord reach is great. And, as the name would suggest, they do in fact charge your phone incredibly quickly. Overall I'm super happy with these cords, and if they ever wear out I'll be rebuying.

Very good product for the price!
Color: White
This is a two pack and it works very well with the charge being very fast. I have not noticed any overheating because of the fast charge. I did not expect that the cord would be 6 ft and I was so pleased. I also like the color being white because it makes it easy to spot. Everything is very compact and I am glad that I bought this product.

Solid value and performance for the price, but keep an eye on long-term durability
Color: White
I purchased this 2-pack of 20W chargers with 6ft cables as a cost-effective solution for my iPhone 16 and iPad, and it mostly delivers.The chargers provide proper fast charging, reaching up to a 50% battery in around 30-35 minutes for my iPhone, which matches the performance of more expensive branded chargers. Also getting two complete sets is fantastic for having one at home and one for travel. The 6-foot cable length is very practical. I think there are rooms for improvement. The charger blocks and cable connectors feel a bit lightweight compared to premium brands like Apple's official adapter or Anker's offerings. While they work fine, I'm moderately concerned about how they'll hold up with heavy daily use over many years.

Great charger
Color: White
I recently got the 2‑pack of fast chargers for iPhone 17, 16, and 15 (20W Apple‑style USB chargers), and they’ve made charging my devices way more convenient. Both chargers deliver fast, reliable power — I can plug in my iPhone and it gets a solid boost in a short amount of time, which is great when I’m rushing out the door. I like having two because one stays at my desk and the other stays by my bedside, so I’m never searching for a charger. They work with my iPad too at decent speeds, and the compact design makes them easy to carry in a bag or luggage when I travel. Overall, they feel well built for the price, charge quickly without overheating, and having a spare really takes the stress out of keeping multiple devices powered up.
