    I genuinely enjoy your videos. There’s a certain “real” feel to it I get that I don’t get watching others. Others are helpful too but they all feel scripted. With your video I feel like I’m there enjoying it as much as you are even after X amount of years.

    March, you were really lucky to pick that Hammer up and not get stung. I had a gold wall hammer years ago and I didn't think hammers could sting. Well, I was WRONG, it felt like a rather strong bee sting.

    Hammers and Frogspawn are no longer in the Euphyllia genus, they have been reclassified to Fimbriaphyllia. Torches (glabrescens) is the only coral that is still in Euphyllia (cristata is in Fimbriaphyllia). It’s a fairly recent reclassification, and they’re all still in the same family, but they are in different genera now. I imagine it’s going to be like how people still call Micromussa lordhowensis ‘Acans’, it’s hard to get people to change. But just FYI, hammers and frogspawn (and cristatas) are now in Fimbriaphyllia.

    Hi March,
    I have two hammers that thrive in my sump but fade away in my primary tank. The main reef has two other hammers that are totally fine. One is an ordinary green and the other is a TSA Hologram. The two that only like the sump are an ordinary bicolor and a gold. Every time I move a gold or a bicolor to the main tank they close up over a few days and if I don't put them back in the sump they die. Perhaps they don't like the light in the main tank? It is lit by a Vortex LED light which is pretty bright. The Sump is lit by a Fluval Sea Marine LED which I guess produces much lower PAR. Any advice?
    Cheers,
    Chris

    Those are some really healthy looking corals! What are the name of the different tip sizes on hammers? Are some indo and others maybe aussie or something? Hopefully I have some larger tipped ones coming in an order I because every one i have has very small ones. Smaller then any you have showed even! Granted I order the small one or two heads ! Does the tip size get bigger as it grows more heads? My lfs has huge tips on hers but pricey and many heads so I order online! I have one that has 2 heads and long thin tentacle and tips! Not flat as most but definitely a hammer of some sort! My niteaters range from 5 to 10 right b4 wtare change is when it hits 10! I wsh I could keep lower but have no refugium and dont want to dose nopox . Any sugestions on keeping down? I have no room for reactors its a small 36 gallon and 20 nuvo aio. Bio balls seemed to do nothing and is keeping higher mag safe for softies? po3 is 0.03. Gfo in my filter sock...lol. To bad I don tknow of a media like gfo for nitrates! Well actually nitrates used to be higher when I used chemipure elite but since ssssssssswitching to gfo its a little lower I also dose mb 7 once a week! Is it safe to dose more often? Maybe thats why my nitrates are lower since dosing MB7!

  • @chrisgood6877

    Hi found this very interesting as I’m having trouble with two of my corals. The green torch which I have had since 2019 lost two of the heads it had grown since I had it, they just died no idea why, then my Duncan died as well but my frogspawn seems to just keep expanding. I was wondering if it something to do with my parameters. My KH has been at about 10.8, my calcium around 540 and my magnesium has always been around 1490. I use the Hanna testers by the way. I do a IPC test about every three months and that shows very little problem. I just can’t keep these or any SPS corals. Can you advise me. Wish I live in Canada like you just would spend all my time in your shop and all my money to. Love your shows and Happy birthday to Tias.

    • @svenvanderzwaag1012
      @svenvanderzwaag1012 2 года назад

      Probably alkalinity and/or ph swings. Running that high dkh and calcium might result in precipitation and can throw all kind of things of balance. I would advice to run your alk at 9 and calc at 440ish. Lps and sps need good stable dkh and ph without swings during the day. Also good flow is important.

Anyway, I have a hammer that has about 3 lost heads or receding. I am not sure why other then I did move it to the other side but already had 2 receding when i moved it. I di move it to same proxinity to the light and the rock same height and evrything! I probably should move it back but now I am worrying about to much movent, stress ect. If the heads dont come back soon should I cut them off? Its actually fallen in sand bed too several times. Damn super glue. I am placing an order tomorrow for tunze and regular coaral glue!

    I don’t know how the hell you get away with having your hammers and torches touch on all these videos very frustrating. I am never so lucky I guess I just have a whole torches I’d like lost a nice wall and a gold from torches. I wonder if it matters since it was an Indonesian torch touching an Australian hammer that gave me problems. I wonder if the Australian torches and hammers play nice and the Indo‘s played nice but if you mix them then that’s war
