wait so, is the reason you don’t want to keep them because of how large they grow? Those are some very nice hammers you have and are a good LPS for beginners, it looks like they are all open… I have a 40G cube and a handful of hammers and torches, size won’t be an issue for those corals.Hello I bought some euphyllia (frogspawn and hammers) without realizing my new tank would probably not be a good home for them longterm. This is my first tank and I’m still learning I guess.
Hoping I can trade them for some easier to care for corals like zoas if possible. I think the tank will just be zoas, gsp, and clove polyps longterm. It’s too small to keep these big frogspawn.
I’m near Fort Lauderdale. Would love to trade these for some cool zoas like Illuminati/utter chaos/stratospheres/etc. if possible.
Thanks.
what do you consider the best coral food for euphyllia?
Anything really. Mine loved mysis, would eat flakes also.
Yeah the picture was from early morning, the two frogspawn can get VERY fluffy and extended. Random people have messaged me saying my tank is too young for euphyllia as well. I also want to eventually get an anemone after ~6-8 months. I’m trying to make this (my first tank) as low maintenance as possible and getting so many frogspawn and hammers right off the bat makes me believe they will consume a lot of calcium and other minerals that a small weekly water change may not be able to sustain.
don’t worry about the calcium consumption. My first corals were some GSP and 2 hammers, they’re very hardy in my experience. I think that despite what people are saying about your tank being too young, your corals will let you know if they are unhappy, if they’re extending even more then they’re probably just fine and I’d keep them. As for an anemone I think it would be smart to wait about 6 months as well.
