Duncan coral is a pretty forgiving coral. Able to thrive with good lighting alone it does grow faster with supplemental feeding. This shot is of the mother colony. The subtitle (a play on immaculate conception) is based on this corals ability to regenerate from just a nub.
Soon after this picture was taken (Oct 11th) I brought the coral to an MMMC meeting and fragged it. In the spirit of giving I gave all of the attendees a frag to take home, while keeping a few for myself. I also kept the "trunk" and almost threw it into the sump with the rest of the rubble. Here's what it looked like Oct 23rd...
and here it is as of last night (Dec 18th)...
Happy Holidays!
