Recently picked up some cool pieces and one of them was a hammer coral with a unique color morph. At first I didn’t notice it and I think neither did the LFS. The guy told me it wasn’t grafted and that only the skeletons were stuck together but After getting home, I noticed the colors.

Hello everyone.
Recently one of my branching hammer lost a small piece of tissue on one of its heads, and its currently sitting on the bottom of my tank for about 2 days now, it seems to be open as if it was an individual head.
Q: Is it possible for a hammerhead coral to split like that and...
So I just picked some new Euphyllia and gotta say I feel like I did pretty good. Sort of popped into a store on a whim since I had some spending money and saw pieces I couldn’t pass up.

1 green and purple tip grafted skeleton.
1 green on green frogspawn.

I have been noticing that my hammer’s skeleton has been decaying/being eaten for the last few days. I didn’t want to unglue it to inspect it but my emerald crab knocked it over this morning. I picked it up and saw a clear/white curled up worm or something sucking on the skeleton. It was...
I’ve had this hammer since October. He’s grown a new head and his original head is growing in size. What kind of hammer is he? And is that growth rate slow or normal? Several pics under several spectrums and a video attached.
Hello!
I am new to the hobby. I unfortunately had an alkalinity spike and believe I caused my branching hammer to bailout. I currently have my water parameters under control. My hammer had one last piece of flesh remaining. I read in another forum to put it in a shot glass with sand and see if...

So I've done well with other euphyllia, frogspawn and torches do great for me. The two hammers I've had, one died from a metals issue with previous sand I had, the other randomly just polyp bailed out on me. I believe this was possibly because a dip in magnesium and being stress by cyano. I've...
Hi everyone, I just bought this guy a few days ago, it was sold to me as a frogspawn, but I’m thinking it’s a hammer, I’m new to lps so I’m not super sure which it is. I also have a new Duncan and I’m not super sure if it’s happy, it’s not super vibrant. Thanks in advance! Also, if anyone knows...
Hey reefers, are my hammer coral ok? I got this frag as one head about a month ago. It’s split into two now. My biocube just cracked so I had to move it to a new tank. It’s opening fine it’s only been in there about two days. I noticed the tissue doesn’t go all the way down the stalk. But I’m...

So the other day I took my hammer out to do an iodine dip because he wasn't looking too hot. Been having a bit of a cyano problem and some had grown on it's skeleton. I dipped and basted him with a turkey baster and I guess I hit him too much with the baster because it looks as though part of...

Not sure what's happening. Nitrate 5, ammonia and nitrite 0. Phosphate 0.04. Alk 8.4, PH 8.6. Salinity 35.5
I have been adding 8ml/day in my 55 gallon tank. My hammers are looking not great and I have only noticed this tonight.
Hello,
I have a 20 gal long reef tank (30"x12"x12"), and I am currently using the 24"-36" Fluval marine and reef LED light 25000K 32 Watt on it (I can still return). I have a couple of clowns, a royal gramma, some CUC, a BTA, and a small hammer coral. The BTA and coral don't look so good at the...
I’ve had my hammers for over 6 months now. They have always opened up nicely and I’ve seen growth. Lately they’ve been looking a bit different...their mouths are slightly opened and look puffy in the center. Does anyone have any idea what they’re doing?
So have a hammer and it’s always had some “dark spots” figured it was some discoloration of some sort. After tonight looks like it has spread ALOT since I’ve last paid attention to it. Might someone know what or why there is some blue Something growing around my hammer? Got the best pic I could...
