hammer

Why would one of my hammers be extended great and the other has been closed up more since they both got placed 2 months?

Hi guys, Does anyone know what this may be? There seams to be 2 red masses and one small red mass on my hammer. I’ve had the hammer a month and the first 2 weeks everything was okay, but the last 2 weeks it just hasn’t opened fully, I’d say it’s opened about 70% max. I was wondering if these...

Hi all, Dendros, Acans, Favia, Duncan, Frogspawn, Hammer, etc... When target feeding, do you have to feed each individual coral mouth/head for every parts to grow? Or will feeding one "distribute" the food to the entire colony? Thanks!

Hi can hammers and frogspawn touch acropora, Green Seriatopora? Thanks

Hi everyone I hope I can get some help, I am completely new to reef keeping after keeping fresh water for quite a while. I now have had my nano reef set up for around 6 months and started 1 month ago adding my 1st soft corals (some mushrooms, Xenia and GSP). My mushrooms where doing really well...

I was doing a water change last Friday and I happened to have moved a hammer a little too close to a chalice. Normally I wouldn't be too concerned and even consider that the hammer would probably being the aggressor in this situation but instead.... BOOM My hammer became a snack lol What's...

I was doing my weekly water change this morning and I lost control of my siphon. Long story short, I hit my hammer coral with the hose. It sucked up about 2 tentacles and damaged about 5 or so. Will it heal on its own or do I need to take action? I’ve read iodine dips help, but the frag plug...

I'm relatively new to the reefing game and I got my first pair of hammers 4 days ago. One of my hammers is fully opened and looking better than it did in the lfs i got it from. The other one is looking good but not extending nearly as much. Both are sitting in areas that receive roughly 100...

I woke up this morning to see a strip of my hammer coral missing. It looked absolutely amazing/healthy as of last night. It doesn’t appear to have BJD upon viewing the missing section. After testing my parameters, everything is well within acceptable ranges. One thing which comes to mind is...

Hi everyone, Two days ago I noticed my hammer coral curled up, almost no polyp extension and really looking not that fluffy/happy... The next morning the situation was unchanged but I noticed some of the polyps had let go, or were letting go at the moment. Sorry for the bad quality picture, my...

Hello All! I recently got a hammer coral and I was wondering how long I should set the acclimation period on my AI Prime. I have it set for 3 days, which has worked in the past for hardier LPS, but I’m not quite sure what I should do for the hammer. Any help would be great!

Hi all! I’m pretty new to the euphyllia scene, but I got my first hammer today! I ordered it off of a trustworthy seller on ebay and it looked ok when it got to me. I floated, dripped, and dipped the coral. It opened up after an hour or so. It looked ok, until I turned my wave pump on. Its...

Hi everyone! I recently got my tank cycled and set up since since the start of July (cycled with live rock, Brightwell bacteria, and live sand) and only recently added some corals into the tank (mostly LPS and soft corals). For about two weeks, the corals seemed pretty happy and would be opened...

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...

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.

Introduction Hey everyone! I thought I'd start a build thread to track my progress with my newest reef. I had about 7 active tanks running simultaneously when I was 13-15 years old, but then lost interest in the hobby and got rid of everything. I'm older now and haven't been working as much due...

Hey all, i have a hammer coral thats been in my tank for a while, it did really well the first week or so, but after that its always been slightly retracted (or more) it doesn't seem like it's dying or anything, but it has these branch like protrusions coming from its base, one is pretty close...

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...

Wondering if anyone can help me ID which hammer species/order may be on the pictured. Thank you

Hi All, I have a 55 gallon euphyllia garden and have been searching for a holy grail hammer for quite some time. Well today, I saw one and impulse bought it - however now I am concerned it is way too big for my tank. I won’t have it till tomorrow, but if anyone is interested I’d be willing to...

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?

Wondering if someone could price a gold hammer for what similar are going for
