Re: My duncan coral colonies

Give the duncan a bit of time, I'm sure it'll come around. Mine seemed to grow bigger every week, took a while to fully open up though.

Tonight was the first time I was around the tank after the lights went out and I saw something moving around like crazy inside the tentacles. They look like tiny bugs - half white, half black - and the white part seems to ...
