Wall Hammers

[Charlie the Reefer]

Hello everyone.

I've read up quite a bit on Wall Hammers.

Eventually I would like to take a stab at keeping in these. I've read all sorts of different things. Dif opinions/observations I've heard:

-Avoid them no questions asked

-Can keep, but require very stable water parameters

-Some take to your tank, some just die. (0 or 100, binary outcome)

-Some people have had success fragging big colonies @sghera64

-Key is look at flesh, buy healthy specimens

-Iodine dips help if you can identify things going south early

-I've heard one guy had multiple wall hammers, but added one that died and resulted in all the rest to die off....

Anyone have any other advice/experiences for wall hammers? Any fringe opinions out there on how to keep them (or why I should definitely never keep them)? Basically just attempting to compile all the info I can on them....

THANKS!

These are the more challenging of euphyllia group but some of the most beautiful also

I'll say start with the branching hammer and then the wall. That's my plan.
