Any tips on better colors? They are growing good I think

Those look great! You could adjust your color spectrum to be more blue and probably get a little more color, but most duncans just aren't super colorful.
Gotcha my blues are already at 70 whites are 10 just wasnt sure if maybe they darken or not but thanks for the reply
 
They look great. Just getting into the hobby and plan on getting some myself. Hope they look as nice as yours.
 
Mine were pale green for a long time, but fluffy and growing well. They started getting more color when I got more fish and maintained higher nutrients. Previously couldn’t keep phosphates above 0.

It also helped when I realized my rodi filter wasn’t doing its job

My clowns take offense on you saying their house is boring and ugly...

Yeah its not a colorado sunburst anenome... but they can hold its ground if you like that blue green metalic color.
And clowns absolutely love them... best of all they don't roam around when they are unhappy.

I added my duncan, because a friend of mine said he would bet me that they would host it.
And well, he won.

OP, you need more blues... then the duncan's really brighten up.

My Duncan was one of the 1st corals in my tank in August 2022. It had 3 or 4 heads then. I keep it at the top of the tank with moderate flow. Now it has close to 30 heads.

Just be glad what you have and take good care of them, most Duncans look like yours, some are real neat neon green, they let you know if something is not right in your tank. they are very hardy, they bounce back, one of my favorite corals.
 
So I have a group of 3 with little sprouts and a single on the other side. These are how mine look right now as the cube is going through the blues. I think I caught the single one getting ready to poop!
