I just had a hammer coral bailout it’s only head and I’m so sad. I realized I placed it in too high of a flow area and when I went to move it l, the polyp flew off.
my parameters are:
Salinity: 1.025
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0.10
KH: 8.2
Temp: 78.9
PH: 8.2
ca: 380
Mg: 1440
It’s a 40 breeder with 1 ai prime 16. (Yes I’ll add another later). It’s in medium light but I don’t have specific par. It did fine the first week on the frag rack, but moving it to higher flow made it way too stressed.
I feed the tank with BRS reef chili 2x a week. The polyp itself I tried to save but my hermit crabs seem to have gotten to it.
I’ve moved the Hammer coral skeleton to a lesser flow area. My question is: what can I do to increase its recovery odds? Should I be target feeding the skeleton with coral food at night? If so how often? I’ve seen it’s sweeper tentacles out here and there.
Also I found out the frag had two vermetid snails on it, I couldn’t see them until the polyp flew off unfortunately. I put super glue all over the top of them so they should be starving out now.
I have 4 zoas, a GSP, and a war coral that are all growing and thriving, if that’s relevant.
