I like that you show the good and the bad in your store! a lot of RUclipsrs only show the good in their personal tanks or stores.. you my friend don’t so props to you for keeping the hobby humble and showing what’s real!
Man you have me wanting to open a coral shop so badd, in the US, north Florida to be exact, obviously not trying to encroach on your business. But you have a sweeeeet setup for such a small footprint. Wish you and your store the best! Loving these videos!!!
I have had a couple wall hammers in my tank since it was set up almost a year ago. I suffered a tank crash fairly early on which killed all my corals except one of my small wall hammers. The little guy had RTN’d all the way down to near the mouth and still managed to pull through, hes happy as ever now.
I have kept branching hammer and wall hammer for 5 years now. 1 branching hammer turned to like 40+ heads while my wall hammer only grew an inch lol. 😂
I have a white tipped wall hammer that was looking like that. I have managed to save it by turning the lights down a bit. It's now back to being very happy but you can see a ring where it's started to regrow inside it's original skeleton.
Parancora is the variety that is called, branching hammer coral, the common hammer coral would be called ancora. This issue is very common, could be because of ciliates or a bacterial infection, try to use a dip based on potassium salts like for example the primer, this could save the coral. Good luck.
My hammer was almost completely done it has no tentacles showing and all shrinked inside, then I found one of my blue legged hermits climbing up it and messing around with it then I started dosing more magnesium and I'm starting to see some or it's tentacles coming out
I have a wall hammer thats not doing so well right now. That being said i found that my temp was 70°f instead of 78 and my salinity was 1.30 instead of 1.25 Why did this happen? I didnt calibrate my probes for a long time. Completely my fault but im hoping the fix will turn things around. The hammer is not anywhere near as bad as this one, and whats weird is all the other corals seem to be doing well
This video couldnt have come at a better time March, unfortunately it cut out as you got to the important bit, I have a couple of branching hammers that have started receding and any tips to save them would be helpful
Please help. My tiny little beautiful purple green tip hammer coral has fallen victim to my clumsiness. I accidentally got too close with the Python syphoning hose during a cleaning of my 14 gallon nano. It happened so fast, and the faucet was on full blast, so the suction was very strong. Anyway, the hose just latched on the head of my little hammer and took a huge chomp of I don't know how many polyps. I was like August Gloops' mother watching her son get sucked up that pipe in Wonka's chocolate river, as I watched in horror the polyps getting sucked up my clear siphoning hose. This hammer is only a little frag, but was expensive, and probably my favorite coral. I'm proud of myself for keeping him so happy and healthy. Keeping this hammer coral has been a small personal achievement for me, so I was a bit devastated. Currently the hammer has resumed happiness, but is missing a lot of polyps. I'm burning to know will the polyps which were ripped off grow back, and if so, about how long will this take? I don't see any bony skeleton or polyp bail out or anything like that, but my once beautifully evenly growing lustrous hammer is missing a lot of the beauty and appeal it had due to the polyps getting ripped off. I think I know the answer to this, but I just need to hear it for sure. Appreciate any attention you can give this. Thanks if you read this whole post.
Not a big fan of wall hammer, my lfs sells it cut through the flesh and skeleton in small chunks,which is common in australia, in my opinion once it is cut that way it has a very low chance of survival, its like cutting a single branching hammer head in half...good luck i say, only corals in 10yrs i have had die are cut wall hammer, never lost a branching and have prob 10 colours at moment.
Cutting walls defiantly comes with risk & I would't recommend buying a freshly cut one, but once it's fully healed over for a few months theres usually no more risk than buying an un cut colony (as long as the fragger knows what they are doing & dose not leave any sharp edges etc) although all wall hammers can go downhill for seemingly no reason at times. However almost all if not all wall hammers imported (to the UK anyway) have at some point been cut. If it's a decent exporter then it will have been cut long time ago may very be hard to spot but if you look closely when it is fully closed up you'll be able to find evidence like a slightly flat edge or something to show it was cut away from a larger colony. It's probably not possible to only find & collect perfectly sized little colonies in the wild on a large scale for export so you can understand why it's done.
you do realize how many corals they ship in and out right and that theyve mentioned in other videos that corals in transport for days on end dont respond well to being dipped and tend to die off, not to mention how long it would take to dip every coral and quarantine it in a seperate system, corals are expensive enough thanks to freight costs i dont know about you but id rather buy a bottle of dip for myself than have a retailer factor in the time and cost of doing all that extra work

I got one wall hammer with the same issue, not sure how it was recover but take around 18 months. As all the parameters are the same.
My wall hammer has literally split its flesh in half on the skeleton. Both parts of it open up nicely. Does this mean that it is dying?
I like the term "coral boutique"
should of showed us the cut on the saw
I can't believe I'm 4 weeks behind! Fragbox binge day...
It appears that your torches are touching it
How do you get thoes colors out of the coral what do you feed

Yeh Divisa is what's commonly called Frogspawn, I'm absolutely terrible with Latin names so no judgement here 😅
i am looking for there clips with digits for frag-plates. where ya´ll got them from? what are they called? Thanks!

I am looking for a light for a jbj 20gl for anemone that they recommend me
Really surprised that you would keep that infected coral in your system..
Wait what happened to the rest of the video?
I have a wall hammer thats not doing so well right now.
That being said i found that my temp was 70°f instead of 78 and my salinity was 1.30 instead of 1.25
Why did this happen?
I didnt calibrate my probes for a long time. Completely my fault but im hoping the fix will turn things around.

Never had luck with wall hammers.
That video ended rather abruptly!
Furan 2 + Iodine dip for 30 min. It works to bring back so many coral I have had problems with.
Hi guys love youtube channel can I have some advise please I have a torch and a hammor coral that is not looking good at all.
This video couldnt have come at a better time March, unfortunately it cut out as you got to the important bit, I have a couple of branching hammers that have started receding and any tips to save them would be helpful

I want to see Tias reef sculpture that she was making please I'm waiting dying to see that

I have to try talking to them more

Looks like brown jelly… saw it off
sad little fella 😢
Dip it in reef primer.
+1. Reef primer works wonders
they are supposed to be easy they are not. I find sps easier.
Walling hammers are annoying.
Maybe you should DIP and QUARANTINE your coral before selling … why keep dying coral in your tank .. you need to sort things out
