hammer

This hammer looking symbol just started flashing in the front screen of my GHL profilux 4 does anyone know what it means and why it is doing it?

I purchased this toxic splatter a while back and it was doing just fine at first. Now it isn’t opening. I recently got a Nero 3 but it’s nowhere near my LPS and it’s running at 50% pulse. I tried turning it off and it didn’t make a difference. These are before and after pics and these are my...

I recently moved my hammer corals since I change my aquascape (about 2 weeks ago), I moved my hammers lower so that they don’t get blasted with flow. Now they don’t seem to open up as much as they used to.

I had a branching hammer retract, bleach and was pretty bad off. It looked moments away from death. It didn't extend at all for almost a week, when It extended slightly It was bleached on every head. It had 3 heads. Woke up one day and one head had BJD. In a panic I ordered some cipro online...

Awoke this morning to a sight that I was not expecting. Over five heads had ejected polyps over night with two more head visibly showing the ever dreaded brown jelly. The colony is over 10yo and I’ve never had the courage to frag it. Today, I jumped in, hoping I wouldn’t loose the entire thing...

Are these vermatids snails on my hammer coral? i recently found one on a candy cane and immediately superglued the tube. this was about a week ago. Today I saw these little growths on the base of my hammer. Was hoping I was quick enough on stopping an outbreak but now I’m getting worried and...

Hey everyone, So I started out in the reef hobby very careless as I wasn’t too sure if I’d enjoy it and I tried to do this on a budget. Fast forward 8 months in, I never quarantined anything, fish or corals. I had a ich breakout and I really enjoy the hobby so I want to do it right this time...

Hi just noticed I have a spong inside hammer skellington similar to the one I have on my rock in picture bellow…. Should I deal with it and how so?

Just trying to start a discussion! I’ll begin It took almost 2 weeks for me to find a spot where my hammer coral and Florida ricordea were happy. Then it took another week trying to figure out how strong to set my powerheads. Things have been going well for a bit now. just added a few more CUC...

Had this hammer for a few months now and when it opens up it opens really wide and the polyps sometimes are really skinny? Is it too much flow? I have some higher phosphates at the moment could that be the cause? It can get even more open and stretched out then in the photo. Thanks in advance

Hey Guys, I have a green wall hammer that’s been in my tank for about 5 months, and has been doing great. last night after lights went out and it closed up I noticed a white growth on one side and have no idea what it could be. the coral opens, is really puffy and happy looking so I don’t...

Just got it 2 days ago. Yesterday it was fully opened and seemed to be doing okay, but since this morning it is been like this and is expelling this long almost clear looking stringy substance. Is there anything to worry about?

Why would one of my hammers be extended great and the other has been closed up more since they both got placed 2 months?

Hi guys, Does anyone know what this may be? There seams to be 2 red masses and one small red mass on my hammer. I’ve had the hammer a month and the first 2 weeks everything was okay, but the last 2 weeks it just hasn’t opened fully, I’d say it’s opened about 70% max. I was wondering if these...

Hi all, Dendros, Acans, Favia, Duncan, Frogspawn, Hammer, etc... When target feeding, do you have to feed each individual coral mouth/head for every parts to grow? Or will feeding one "distribute" the food to the entire colony? Thanks!

Hi can hammers and frogspawn touch acropora, Green Seriatopora? Thanks

Hi everyone I hope I can get some help, I am completely new to reef keeping after keeping fresh water for quite a while. I now have had my nano reef set up for around 6 months and started 1 month ago adding my 1st soft corals (some mushrooms, Xenia and GSP). My mushrooms where doing really well...

I was doing a water change last Friday and I happened to have moved a hammer a little too close to a chalice. Normally I wouldn't be too concerned and even consider that the hammer would probably being the aggressor in this situation but instead.... BOOM My hammer became a snack lol What's...

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...

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...

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...

Hi everyone, Two days ago I noticed my hammer coral curled up, almost no polyp extension and really looking not that fluffy/happy... The next morning the situation was unchanged but I noticed some of the polyps had let go, or were letting go at the moment. Sorry for the bad quality picture, my...

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!
