Are Duncans suppose to look this way? Daylights just shut off.

Could be preparing to exspell waste.my duncan I use to have looked similar when it expelled the tentacles would shrink up real small.see what others have to say

They don't look very happy. What lights are they under? What are your tank parameters?

 

[TrialandError]

Have you tried spot feeding them?

 

[Shtiff1]

They are under 4 bulb t5's.I started with one head and in about 6 months has gone to 6 heads. Arms do extends to about two to three inches. I'll send a pic when he is extended.

I just purchased a Duncan yesterday from world wide corals so I will be fallowing along. Do you spot feed them?

 

[Connie]

yes. The more you feed them, the faster they will grow.

Mine like a lot of flow also, not directly on them. There tentacles should be moving quit a bit!
Just my 2 cents

Here he is in all his glory.

I have never seen a duncan with tentacles like that before. Very interesting.

My Duncan's never looked like that. Strange???

Ya lfs store says they can get different looks. I'll just say mine has fatty fingers. :-D. I did like him better with smooth tentacles.

Yours looks good, hopefully when the other heads get bigger he will fill out.

I had a Duncan happy for a couple months and then it shriveled up for a couple days and at times looked like yours. I moved him to a lower flow (was in a strong turbulent flow) and he opened up in a day, bigger than it ever had, and is very happy looking, with three babies.:smile: Duncan's are pretty tolerant when it comes to water parameters, tentacle extension usually correlated with flow.

 

[Shtiff1]

I know they really don't like that much flow. I put him right under a lock line, hardly any flow at all. His arms just kinda float around. He was doing really good until all these heads starting popping out.

Maybe he's gone lazy and needs a little more flow

 

[Shtiff1]

I might give it a shot. I hate moving things around.
