Duncan feeding & your Duncan thrives

We feed our duncan for maximum growth and reproduction. Learn how to feed predatory corals and save money. Duncanopsammia thrive in reefs with a bit of nutrient in the water, so we keep them in systems with corals that grow best when they are fed. These reefs have many sponges and macro algae. These tanks are full of Zoanthids and Palythoa.We have found that Duncanopsammia make great hosts for several types of Clownfish.
In a few days the coral does not seem to be upset by the fish,
but it does eat any food the fish bring to hide in its polyps.
This lesson will explain how we feed large polyp predatory corals for the best growth.
We mix up these ingredients.
Two tablespoons SeaChem Reef Plus
Two tablespoon Spiralina flake food -

Try to not break up flakes for this coral
We use extra flake food, because this coral can hold on to it very well

One teaspoon Spiralina Powder
Two tablespoons frozen Mysid shrimp

Mix all ingredients in plastic or glass cup, and let it set overnight.
You can freeze extra for later, I freeze it in sandwich bag flattened in the freezer.

We use a turkey baster to place the food around the outside of the polyp,
you can touch the baster to the tentacles. The coral soon ignores the touch of the baster.
