Have their claws always been like this or is this different? I always thought they came to a point!

Emeralds have flat 'claws' since they eat algae for the most part.
 
Morning Fam!! Almost the weekend!! Any big plans? 2 of my kids have 7pm baseball games tonight!
Sad news Padres beat the cubs. Hopefully the Cubs can pull out this series!
My plans are to finish my stand and get it painted so I can finally get my tank set up!

We will be heading to Georgia Saturday to setup hunting blinds and cameras!!! So excited!!!! Can't wait to hunt the following weekend!!!
 
Good morning sir. Any word on that hammer?
Good morning.

None good. It and the plum hammer look like they've just given up but the peach hammer looks fine. My alk is down at about 6.9 and my nitrates/phosphates are up at 57/0.59 but none of that should matter to the hammers. I used to see wall hammers do this after a few years, like they just stop trying.

Looks like he's had a botched molt. Ive seen crazy deformities on my wife's designer hermits after a molt. Sometimes fewer legs, wonky claws etc. It'll probably go back to normal on the next molt. Odd that he hasn't shaken the shed yet

I pulled his molt off last night and thought it was complete. I guess it was the bottom half. It's funny though seeing him run around like this.

Im dying to see this build Rock! It's going to be cool to see how you display everything

POTM!

There's NOTHING wrong with that picture! I love the crazy neon center vs the daytime color of the polyps. That's an outstanding photo Paul.
