Creme is where it is at. Chips are for people that microwave their pizza rolls.
You do not want to go there.....

There's an army 420 heads deep that would agree it is perfectly acceptable...

There's also never an excuse to microwave a chef boy already... It's meant to be eaten cold out of the can.

Trying a new location for the hammer to see if I can get it to fluff up a bit. Closer to the light and more flow variation.
It’s still a little angry from the move. How long do you try a new location before, you make a determination whether or not it likes it better? I’m not super happy with leaving it here unsecured. It is wedge into the rock but my turbo or the murder hermit could cause it to fall. Thoughts?

I like to give it a week or so to see how it opens or shrinks before moving a coral. Hammers and frogs aren’t too picky, but mine have done best in medium flow and light.

I give coral at Least a week in a new location to make a call. Moving less, is more.

As for the snails, a bit of superglue should secure it in place for the time being. If it goes face down in the sand, it will not be a happy camper

So it’s sounds like I jumped the gun trying a new location :face-with-hand-over-mouth:? Since it’s only been where it was a couple of days. Maybe I should move it back to where it was and wait a bit longer to see if it starts extending better? Out of all the corals I got, this one makes me the most nervous about caring for.:confused: And I’m acting like a helicopter mom with it.

I’m not opposed to using the super glue. I just don’t want it to be pain to get off, if it becomes unhappy with the new location. Ive never glued a frag to rock inside the tank before.

Given this is a small display, I would be trying to place it in an area it can create the Least chaos in the future. That hammer, as it sits right now can reach out and touch another coral 4-5" away from it with sweepers. I would be trying to get it in an area that controls the sweepers with flow, sending them up, or onto uninhabitable open water.

I wouldn't be worried about the light. Jason has those hammers in high light, I've got them from 70 up to 170 and they are all happy.

Super glue under water is really Moderateglue. It's not hard to break off.

I hadn’t even though about the sweepers :::facepalm::: I’ll double check it with a ruler. My husband and I always disagree on how big an estimated inch is :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
