Welcome to R2R!

Not sure which you call “regular” ones, they come in many forms and colour Morphs.

All looks well to me, I see some green so maybe elevated phosphate

So when I mentioned regular ones I mean that the tentacles are skinnier and longer has a look of a sunflower from a distance but mine has short swollen tentacles and I thought that was odd.

I will try it in a lower spot like recommend and see if that helps! Thank you

Hello and welcome. I have no experience with coral yet, so I am of no help. Sorry.

How is the flow in that area? I have 2, one on the bottom and 1 about 4 inches up in a 24 inch deep tank. . Lighting is about 70 - 100 par and flow is enough that they go back and forth. Mine seem to like enough flow to keep them moving. Like Uncle99 stated they do come in a lot of different variations.

I have a power head on the other side of the tank so the food can be moved around to my seahorses but the flow comes around the tank but not directly on any corals. The flow on them I’d say gives them a slight sway.

Hi, I am new to this forum. Here is some pictures of my Duncan as he is abnormally large in the tentacles any ideas why he looks so different from all the regular looking Duncan’s? He lives high up by the light in the biocube tank and next to a built in sump filter so food passes him 3 times a day as I feed my seahorses. I feed them brine shrimp and mysis shrimp. My corals also get fed Phyto feast 1-2 times a week as I have soft corals and other corals.

Ok I have moved my Duncan and my small Duncan and my leather finger coral on the sand bed and I will see if that helps them out. Thanks for all the advice everyone!

It is not difficult at all as it may seem. They like the same things that your corals do so if you have happy corals and I keep the salinity the same everything will be fine. I feed them once before I go to work, once when I get home and once late at night before bed. They are very personable and I get so much enjoyment watching them. When they see me come home I usually have one of them dancing around waiting for food, it’s so amazing that they recognize you. My salinity is always at 1.023 and I have mostly soft corals. I have them in a 32 biocube and my light is on all day so they can see their food well. I have a ramp up and ramp down and blues on before bed then off till morning mimicking sun up and sundown.

Thanks for that positive advice.
