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.

Available Options

Medium Duncan Colony (5+ heads)

Starter colony with five or more fully developed heads. Healthy branching skeleton beginning to form a colony structure. Ideal size for reef aquariums looking to grow a Duncan colony over time.

Large Duncan Colony (15+ heads)

Mature multi-branch colony with fifteen or more heads. Creates strong visual movement from flowing tentacles. Excellent centerpiece coral for mid-sized reef aquariums.

X-Large Duncan Colony (50+ heads)

Large showpiece colony with fifty or more heads. Impressive branching growth forming a natural coral “tree”. Creates a dramatic focal point in reef aquariums.

Special Considerations

Duncan corals thrive in stable reef environments and display strong daytime polyp extension. Their long tentacles create gentle movement in the aquarium and respond well to occasional feedings of small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or reef plankton. Provide moderate water movement to keep the tentacles clean and extended.

🌱 Propagation

Australian Star Duncan Coral grows through branching skeletal development and head division:

  • New heads develop along branching skeletons
  • Colonies expand into multi-branch structures over time
  • Colonies can be fragged by cutting between branches
