New Hammer Coral

butchik · 02/28/2010, 09:07 AM

A friend of mine cut me a hammer coral frag yesterday (it has 5 heads). Placed it in my tank at around the bottom 1/3 of the tank and it seems to be doing okay BUT it's not as extended as I remembered it. How long before I should see it fully extended? I have a 40 gal breeder, T5 lighting, params are all good. I really like this coral a LOT and I just want to make sure that I take good care of it. Thanks.

BTW, he also gave me 2 candyc ane frags (brown and green), 4 acro frags (beginner ones he said), finger leather, and 3 zoa frags - all seem tho be doing okay.

can take a while or it may not be happy where it is at.. give it another day or so .. if it does not extend fully try to move it a bit see if you can find a nice happy spot for it.
