Does this hammer coal look happy?

Also, when I feed my hammer and frogspawn why do they have a string of food coming out of their body?

He looks good :)

Looks ok to me. I would be worried about having them that close to your power filter intake though. Curious what are you feeding them?

@TimReef it's probably poo...

 

[Caseyoidae]

Yup:)

Yeah, I'd definitely move him. He's going to need more room away from your filter inlet. Look at mine....it's more than 6" across!

Thanks, I’ve been feeding mine BRS reef chili. Was just curious what some other people were using.

How come my hammer it’s technicals aren’t extended like yours? My frogspawn is

Not sure.....cause yours is a baby? Mine is in a medium amount of flow from the power head on the left side of the tank.

I thought it might be the type of hammer? Can that be it?

Could be, but I’m no expert on hammer corals. Sorry. Maybe someone else on here can offer some advice.

The darker one is for sure a hammer. The lighter appears to have hammer shaped polyps. I’m not seeing the trademark frogspawn like polyps. Could be another hammer. Either way the two corals like medium flow and fed meaty foods couple times per week. Reefroids are good but could spoil your tank since they will disperse throughout the display tank. I feed all my euphyllia corals LPS pellets, LRS, and phytoplankton
