First time going through what looks to be some combat with two corals.

My hammer has decided to start throwing out and extended arm super long and going after the newest coral Zoa.

I’ve read a little about them doing this to check surroundings for growth?

My end question is do I uproot the hammer to a different location before he wipes out more of my other coral or will he end up backing off and let it works its way out?

Appreciate the help!

Move your hammer. 1, 2, 3, 4, I declare a coral warfare....hammers, frogs, especially Torches have sweeper tentacles and will zap anything they deem to close to their territory!

Follow up questions. And beautifully put hahahah.


How do hammer and frammer tend to be together. Can I place those two together like keeping torches together or is that just asking for problems?

They will be fine together just not with torches.

I believe my frammer is generally ok with my other hammers, but it seems to grow much faster and will crowd ones close to it.
