hammer coral

Hey all, so my anemone has been moving quite a lot lately, now it’s getting close to my hammer. Should I move the hammer to somewhere else?

So... one of my 2 hammer corals has things (hopefully not things) that look like hair on its base. Is this some kind of worm or other critters?

Hi all , can you take a look and see if you think the base of my hammer is ok. I noticed tonight that possibly the soft tissue at the base of this coral looks as if it might be tearing . The coral has been in this spot for months without an issue . I also haven’t made any changes to the water...

Hey guys, i was just doing a water change on my 14G, and did something so stupid. The hose i was using slipped out of my hand, and the suction end of the hose landed right on my beautiful hammer, which recently was doing super well. I felt a thud through the hose as the suction was cutoff by...

Hey yall, i just made a trip to my not so local lfs and picked me up a bunch of frags. One of my purchases was a super bright and beautiful splattered golden hammer. I took my frags home, which took about 1 hour max. When i get home and start unpacking i notice my hammer was GREEN, not even a...

This past weekend I saw something at a different LFS I've never seen before, would likely never see again, and jumped on it. I bought my first LPS, a BRANCHING ORANGE HAMMER CORAL. Upon bringing it home, I immediately almost killed it by re-arranging my tank and fragging some corals. This...

Bored at the moment, so let’s see your LPS Corals! :)

Hello all, got this hammer from a frag swap, it’s been growing fast. Just noticed today there’s a loose tentacle. Anything to be concerned about?

Ever since I discovered the frammer coral (mix of frogspawn and hammer), I’ve been wondering how rare are these, how is this coral created, and how many of you have one? Here’s a picture of mine

My wall hammer coral hasn't been doing well for a couple of months. I recently found that it seemed to perk up when I used carbon (I do have hitchhiker toadstools in my tank, so their toxin might be the culprit). This time only half of the hammer coral recovered even after carbon. The lower half...

Will Now Ship! WWC OG Bounce 220$ Speckled Krak 180$ Sunny D's 15$ per polyp/ I have 1 one polyp frag/ 3 two polyp frags/ and 1 three polyp frag Duncans/ Left one has 3 heads 25$/ Right has 4 heads 35$ Hammer Coral/ Left has one head 10$(Have 3 single heads available)/ Right has two heads 20$

What is going on with my hammer, seems to only be one of the heads!?!

I just got a green and purple branching hammer at my lfs 2 days ago. They have good quality coral so I do not think I am just getting a trash frag. The hammer has 2 small heads and is only about a inch or two. I put it in my sand bed to acclimate it for about a week. However, a day after I got...

I've been researching all morning and think I've identified these as spionid worms...correct me if I'm wrong. They are all over the base of a hammer coral I have in my coral quarantine tank. I know spionid worms are harmless and good in a tank, but are there any problems having this many...

Hey again guys, this morning when i turned on my lights, i noticed a fan sticking out of my closed up hammer coral(since lights just came on) and it looks like a barnacle. Is this safe or is jt gonna cause some problems in the future?

I've had this coral for several months now and it's been fine and dandy until yesterday. This one head has been all shriveled up and not looking so hot. The rest of the coral and everything else in the tank seems fine. I try to spot feed the hammer occasionally. Thanks! Tank Params are: 1.025...

Looking for Hammers, Torches, and Frogspawns. Preferably in the Naples and Fort Myers area.

so I added my first corals about a month ago, and my hammer coral seemed to be doing fine always in a half a sphere shape and this morning it started to do this. is it a sign that something is wrong or is it just normal?

I just cought my scarlet hermit eating my new hammer coral. Now I have a chicken or egg question; was the crab attracted to dying polyps or did it cause the polyps to die? I ask because he seemed to focus on the two polyps that were retracted. Granted, he may have caused the polyps to retract...

I'm completely new to SW tanks. My husband had a beautiful one years before we met and decided to do it again. We have a 6ft 125 gallon combo tank. Unfortunately I am left to care for the tank the 2 weeks a month he is gone. This site has been a lifesaver. I have a question about a hammer coral...

I keep finding one of my yellow clown gobys head first in a hammer coral. Does it think its a clown and this is an anemone? The first time I noticed it, I thought it was dead. Has anyone else seen this behavior in a clown goby? I have a pair of yellows, I've never seen them both in there......

I own three different hammer corals. Two purple tip and a gold hammer. Really nice pieces! Any ways the two purple tips both seem to be splitting maybe? They closed up like this before (Not fully) when they developed new mouths. Also not fully closed now.. Any one ever notice this in your tank...

OK, so I just bought a new 2 head frag of hammer coral. I dipped it, acclimated it and added it to the tank. Within 15 minutes it was nice and fully opened, looked great. A few hours later, I see one of my 3 peppermint shrimp tearing the hell out of one of the heads, pieces flying away and it...

So I've been a member of R2R for awhile now, but never got around to creating a tank thread. Maybe I was scared, but I figured that I wanted a place to keep a journal of my tanks progression. My set up it unorthodox in ways, but I want to share it in hopes that it might help someone else. So...
