Duncan’s

Is it true they will kill any coral in close proximity? Wondering if I should move it away from the candy cane coral.

They are peaceful.

They are not really more aggresive than most coral in my experience...and honestly i think the candy can would win that battle.

However in any case 2 different types of coral able to touch directly or with sweepers almost always(some exceptions) ends with damage/death to one or both so yes i would move them farther away

Nope. They are the hippies of the reef. Peaceful homies

Most likely a Duncan, but could also be the closely related Turbinaria, I’ve got a Turbinaria right now that looks almost identical to this, it’s polyps are almost as big as my Duncan’s. I kind of think of Turbinaria as a plating or cupping version of the branching Duncan (though I’ve also had Duncans than formed somewhat of a mound instead of truly branching).

They’re very peaceful - I never see sweepers from my colony (Then again, I never see any of my coral pull out their sweepers and I have W torch and a frammer)
