About this item
Australian Star Duncan Coral
Australian Star Duncan Coral (Duncanopsammia axifuga) is a striking large polyp stony coral prized for its bright green centers and long flowing tentacles that radiate outward like a star. Native to the reefs of Australia, this coral forms branching colonies where each head expands into a soft circular crown of feeding tentacles.
Duncan corals are well known for their hardiness, fast growth, and consistent daytime polyp extension. Their movement and vibrant coloration add life and dimension to reef aquascapes while their branching skeleton allows colonies to grow into impressive tree-like structures over time.
