🧬 Overview
The Duncan Axifuga is one of the best beginner-to-advanced LPS choices due to its hardiness, fast growth, and beautiful movement. Our tank-grown cut-to-order frags adapt exceptionally quickly and display:

• excellent feeding response

• rapid skeletal growth once established

• long, flowing tentacles with vibrant fluorescence

• stronger resilience than wild-imported pieces

This coral develops large, graceful polyps that sway with the flow, adding softness and natural motion to any reef.

🍽️ Care & Feeding
Duncans thrive with regular feeding. Offer small meaty foods (mysis, brine shrimp, reef pellets) 1–2× weekly to promote rapid head formation and maintain rich green pigmentation. Stable alkalinity and moderate nutrients support best growth.

📈 Optimal Parameters

📍 Placement
Place in moderate light and gentle, indirect flow. Avoid high flow that forces the polyps to retract. Provide space around the frag for natural expansion as new heads form.
