Overview

The Aussie Mint Green Duncan, scientifically known as *Duncanopsammia axifuga*, is a popular large-polyp stony (LPS) coral originating from Australia. It’s admired for its vibrant green polyps with subtle purple undertones, which appear particularly striking under blue lighting. These corals form branching colonies with fleshy polyps that extend beautiful, flowing tentacles. They are known for their relatively peaceful temperament and can add a lovely sense of movement to your reef tank.

Care Level

Beginner. Duncan corals are highly regarded for their hardiness and adaptability, making them an excellent choice for those new to reef keeping. They are forgiving of minor parameter fluctuations and generally do not pose a threat to other corals.

Tank Essentials

Provide moderate lighting (PAR 50-150) and low to moderate, indirect water flow. Ideal water temperature is 24-27°C (76-80°F), with a stable pH of 8.1-8.4 and salinity of 1.024-1.026 SG. Tank size should be at least 75 litres (20 gallons) for small colonies.

Diet

While photosynthetic, Duncan corals benefit greatly from supplemental feeding. Offer small pieces of meaty foods like mysis shrimp or zooplankton 2-3 times weekly to promote robust growth and fuller polyps.
