hammer coral

I scored a beautiful hammer! I went to my local LFS and they had a bunch of hammers for only $45. I've always loved the look of them, so I asked to put one on hold until I could check all my parameters. It ended up taking me two weeks to get everything in-line and I got to pick up my hammer...

Hey I was wondering if I could get some help. So a few days I noticed a hammer of mine is losing flesh after a few months of having it but noticed it a few weeks ago and don’t know why. Also noticed another is closed and not open/puffy like it usually is just for two days so far. And my one of...

Hi, My purple and green hammer coral seems to be changing colour, the purple is now going down the stem as well as the head, before it had a purple head and green stem but some are now mostly purple. it this normal? Sorry, I'm a little new to reef keeping. Its only a small young head.

Hey everyone. I know that hammers close at night but this time it looked different than normal so just wanted to make sure everything is okay.

Hello everyone! just thought I’d start with water parameters…. They are all good. I have noticed these little lumps on my hammer coral and over the last week they have grown bigger and began to grow what look like small tentacles. Are these new heads growing?!

Note: Please ignore the Ikea light that used for lighting the tank for the pic. Hi All. I am new to reef aquarium and this is my first reef tank that I setup last week. Planning for mainly zoas and easy corals and probably will move to hammers later. That’s all. Plan is to kickstart tank...

So I had this beautiful wall hammer arrive yesterday 8 hours late via UPS in 93 degree weather with a water temp of 86.5. The seller contacted UPS and said if it doesn’t make it they would cover it. It was shipped with an ice pack but due to UPS being outrageously late it was exhausted. I slowly...

Hi guys, Yesterday night I noticed that my hammer had shrunken (which is maybe normal) and had its mouth wide open. I have had him for a month and never fed him but about a week ago, I got reef roids. I feed him this morning and he had a mucus reaction with the reef roads which from what I...

Is something wrong with this Hammer? I posted a short (5sec) clip of the hammer in the tank at my LFS along with 5 pictures of it today. In the clip the one I purchased is the front right. It has opened back up somewhat over the last ~28 hours since I brought it home. I'm just not sure if I...

I have a SUPER tiny hammer coral. Its starting to have some tissue recession between the heads. it only has two heads and up until about a week ago the tissue between the heads went all the way down and connected. Now the tissue is receding back to where it only has tissue on each individual...

A few days ago, I saw a tip of my hammer flowing through the water column. The coral was open and happy, there were no signs of stress, and there were no critters near it. (Low quality pic of my hammer at the end. :p) I lost track of the tip. Fast forward to tonight. I shut off all flow to feed...

Can someone help me narrow down possible causes for this? It’s been this way for about 4 days. It isn’t lighting and I have nothing to pick at it. Just conducted a water change last night and maybe it’s helped a touch? Can’t really be sure. Flow is mild. Could it be a pest or disease? (Sorry for...

So I have a tank filled with hammers. A couple months ago one of my hammers looked really weird and closed up but was still open a little bit. It has stayed like that for roughly 2 months. Now a second hammers is doing it and a third looks like it might start soon. Any help would be greatly...

I have a hammer coral with two branches. One head on each branch. One is fully extended and happy. The other - which receives equal light and similar flow, is only about 25% open. Up until two days ago they were both doing great. It had been there for at least 3 weeks without an issue. I’m new...

Hi Guys, I bought a new hammer coral about two weeks ago and today I noticed a possible hitchhiker on the back. I dipped the coral in Coral RX Pro and Seachem Reef Dip when I got them. It seems to protrude and then goes back in if one of my hermits passes near. I’ve tried to take some pictures...

It’s this normal that my hammer coral from the first picture turns to the second pictures. It seems not opening up properly. Something went wrong or it’s just fine?

Just noticed this growth on my hammer coral a couple of days ago it also retracts slightly when I shine light on it. Anyone experience something similar?
