Indo green hammer help!!

[adespain81]

Hello. I have had this indo green branching hammer for 2 months and it hasn't grown at all. Water parameters are stable and I change water routinely. I feed reef roids every few days. I have power heads on both sides flowing random. Any ideas of what I can do to get it to grow? Any help is appreciated.

Expecting growth in only 2 months is pretty ambitious, it might still just be acclimating to your tank.

What kind of light do you have and what intensity?

Ah ok. I wasn't aware that it can take time. I thought it would grow quickly. I have stock bio cube lighting. About 150 par where it is located now. Does it look healthy and ok?

Yes it looks fine to me. Have you fed it? Feed it some mysis or even pellets, and soon you should see little polyp babies growing from the stalk. Spot feeding corals generally gives them more energy to propagate faster.

I spot feed reef roids with a turkey baster.

Try something more meaty. Larger polyps coral (LPS) prefer meatier foods than powder foods

I have frozen mysis blocks I feed my tank. Should I grab some and spot feed the hammer?
