The Australian Duncan (*Duncanopsammia axifuga*) is one of the most visually striking large-polyp stony corals available in the hobby — and the Australian variant is particularly sought after for its vivid, saturated color morphs ranging from electric green to deep purple with contrasting tentacle tips. Unlike its Indo-Pacific counterpart, the Australian Duncan tends to produce larger, more robust polyp heads that command attention from the moment they open. This is a specimen that earns its place as a centerpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuncan corals are famously expressive — polyps extend fully and wave gently in moderate flow, giving your reef tank a sense of life and rhythm that few LPS corals can match. They're fast growers under consistent care, regularly adding new heads to form impressive branching colonies over time. Beginner-friendly yet rewarding for experienced reefers, the Australian Duncan is the kind of addition you'll appreciate more with every passing month as it matures and expands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQUICK STATS \u0026amp; CARE GUIDE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australian Duncan Coral, Whisker Coral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multi-polyp frag (2–4 heads); varies by availability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy to Moderate — an excellent reef tank entry point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful; maintain spacing from aggressive neighbors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Photosynthetic; benefits from target feeding meaty foods (mysis, reef roids) 1–2x weekly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Temp 75–80°F | Salinity 1.025–1.026 | pH 8.1–8.3 | dKH 8–11 | Ca 400–450 ppm | Mg 1250–1350 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Australian Duncan we ship from The Coral Boutique is ethically sourced, fully quarantined, and conditioned in our Miami facility until polyps are fully extending and feeding consistently — so your new coral arrives ready to thrive, not just survive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Coral Boutique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54705293951251,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/3647\/2595\/files\/IMG-2751.png?v=1789348775","url":"https:\/\/thecoralboutique.com\/products\/australian-duncan","provider":"The Coral Boutique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
