Broke hammer vertically..

[Spazizz]

I was cutting a flat base on my new hammer with dremel to mount it and it split into two pieces. I didn’t glue it back together since the polyp head ripped and i figured having good flow across the wound would be better. I think it will live since it has good polyp extension.

Any one else ever have this happen?

I broke 2 heads of frogspawn the same way, but I did not separate them. I used a bit of 2 part epoxy putty to make rings around the skeleton like barrel rings to hold them together. they both lived and healed with time.

I’ve done this before way worse than you and now I have two splattered hammers.

I actually split the head and damaged polyps when I dropped them on the ground, keep them in an area with medium flow to prevent detritus build up and use aminos to keep it happy. Give it time and it’ll rebound!

I should say that mine's skeleton was also split completely through.

It was a botched attempt at propagating with a pair of side cutters (didn't know better and didn't have any other tools). I was holding them so the actual polyps themselves did not tear all the way through.

corals are a lot tougher than we take them for lol.
