My First Hammer

Nice color!!! Looks superb!!!!! I'm jealous!!!!

 

Very nice! My pink doesn't like as much flow as my torch but anything other than stagnant is fine IMO. Remember when/if you target feed,they're slow eaters when compared to an anemone.

 

Thanks everyone. I really fell in love with it when i saw it.

Good to know. What the largest size it will eat? I know when I had my nem it would eat just about anything, but I figure it has to be significantly smaller for the hammer. Will mysis work or will it need something bigger?

 

Nice looking specimen. I have 2 and I feed them mysis and cyclopese, they also get a dose of phyto when I feed my SPS. I target feed with the PHs, Skimmer and pump off. This way they have time to eat. When they were smaller I used an inverted 2L bottle to cover them so the fish and shrimp wouldn't take their food before they had a chance to feed. The flow looks good Good luck.

 

Ok, one last question. How do you know if it's eating? I see the food just sit on it's little arms, but I'm not quite sure if it's munching or not.

 

Just sit and watch it, that way there's no doubt(if you have the time obviously). Remember they're slow though. Try and get the food closer to the mouth/s so it makes it easier.

I feed mine mysis and pieces of squid that are mixed in Rods food. Also, SPS nor do hammers eat phyto. Rather phyto feeds organisms that SPS do eat since most are carnivores.

 

Thanks!

I wanted to attach it to my rock before the weekend. I'm planning on using both epoxy and super glue. I was wondering if I'll be able to move it once it's attached or if it's there for good?
