Hi, I was in my LFS today and they have a Duncanopsammia axifuga with 6-8 heads for $50, it is a good price? What are the requirements to have this coral healthy?

Thanks, Pablo

Thats a great price if they are selling all 6-8 heads for $50. My local reef store sells them for $35.00 a head.....

That's a great price i paid 79.00 for 3 heads. They don't really need food, but if you give them mysis shrimp and some phyto every once in a while they'll really do well

Thats a great price. If they are ORA's that is amazing. Its very easy to care for. My ORA Duncan has gone from 1 head to 19 heads in less than 6 mos. I fed mine mysis every other day for the first 3 months to get it growing quickly. Now I feed it may be once a week. It does not need it because it is photosythetic but feeding it will allow it to grow quicker.
