    Damaged My Hammer w/siphon

    I was doing my weekly water change this morning and I lost control of my siphon. Long story short, I hit my hammer coral with the hose. It sucked up about 2 tentacles and damaged about 5 or so. Will it heal on its own or do I need to take action? I’ve read iodine dips help, but the frag plug...

    Hammer relocation advice

    I'm relatively new to the reefing game and I got my first pair of hammers 4 days ago. One of my hammers is fully opened and looking better than it did in the lfs i got it from. The other one is looking good but not extending nearly as much. Both are sitting in areas that receive roughly 100...

    Strange hammer issue

    I woke up this morning to see a strip of my hammer coral missing. It looked absolutely amazing/healthy as of last night. It doesn’t appear to have BJD upon viewing the missing section. After testing my parameters, everything is well within acceptable ranges. One thing which comes to mind is...

    How Long Should I Acclimate My Coral To My Lighting?

    Hello All! I recently got a hammer coral and I was wondering how long I should set the acclimation period on my AI Prime. I have it set for 3 days, which has worked in the past for hardier LPS, but I’m not quite sure what I should do for the hammer. Any help would be great!

    New Hammer, Mouth Open, Questions

    Hi all! I’m pretty new to the euphyllia scene, but I got my first hammer today! I ordered it off of a trustworthy seller on ebay and it looked ok when it got to me. I floated, dripped, and dipped the coral. It opened up after an hour or so. It looked ok, until I turned my wave pump on. Its...

    Droopy hammer and not fully opening

    Hi everyone! I recently got my tank cycled and set up since since the start of July (cycled with live rock, Brightwell bacteria, and live sand) and only recently added some corals into the tank (mostly LPS and soft corals).

    New hammer!

    I scored a beautiful hammer! I went to my local LFS and they had a bunch of hammers for only $45. I've always loved the look of them, so I asked to put one on hold until I could check all my parameters. It ended up taking me two weeks to get everything in-line and I got to pick up my hammer...

    Hammer spawn?!

    A few days ago, I saw a tip of my hammer flowing through the water column. The coral was open and happy, there were no signs of stress, and there were no critters near it. (Low quality pic of my hammer at the end. :p) I lost track of the tip. Fast forward to tonight. I shut off all flow to feed...

    Healthy branching hammer?

    Is this a healthy branching hammer? The dark spots on the bottom are newish and I’m noticing some darker top parts underneath the polyps... what should I do if anything? I did glue this to the rock when I bought it. Is that an issue?
