Their tentacles carry only a mild sting and they do not send out long sweepers, so they can sit closer to neighbors than most LPS. Still, give the colony a few inches of clearance from aggressive corals like torches and hammers, which will win any border dispute. Reef-safe fish and inverts ignore them, though a clownfish without an anemone may occasionally try to host in the polyps, which most Duncans tolerate but do not love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:14px 0 4px;font-size:1.05em;font-weight:600;line-height:1.25;border-left:4px solid #006064;padding-left:8px;\"\u003eRecommended Foods \u0026amp; Supplies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/squeakysaquatics.com\/products\/polyplab-reef-roids\"\u003ePolypLab Reef Roids\u003c\/a\u003e, the classic target food for hungry LPS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/squeakysaquatics.com\/products\/vitalis-lps-coral-soft-pellets-1-5mm\"\u003eVitalis LPS Coral Soft Pellets\u003c\/a\u003e, sized perfectly for Duncan mouths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/squeakysaquatics.com\/products\/red-sea-reef-energy-ab-plus-coral-food-250-ml\"\u003eRed Sea Reef Energy AB+\u003c\/a\u003e, an easy broadcast feed for the whole reef\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/squeakysaquatics.com\/products\/coralrx-one-shot-single-use-coral-dip\"\u003eCoralRx One-Shot Coral Dip\u003c\/a\u003e for a quick dip before any new coral goes in the tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverything else in our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/squeakysaquatics.com\/collections\/salt-water\"\u003esaltwater department\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:14px 0 4px;font-size:1.05em;font-weight:600;line-height:1.25;border-left:4px solid #006064;padding-left:8px;\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I have to feed my Duncan Coral?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, its zooxanthellae produce most of what it needs under reef lighting.
