  • In this episode we show you how to frag branching hammer coral. It comes out "ok" but I'm glad it didn't go as planned so that you can see how the skeleton of this coral sometimes cracks.
    If you have any questions about fragging hammer coral or corals in general reach out to us !

    Perfect timing. I have a hammer that I put in the display with one head. A little over a year later, it has 10 heads. It may be time for me to invest in a band saw. I really wish you sold to the lower 48. One thing I do that helps me when gluing frags to rocks or plugs is a 10 mL syringe. I draw glue into the syringe and have really good control of how much and where the glue goes. As long as I don't draw salt water into the syringe and I wipe off the tip when done, the glue doesn't harden. Now after a few weeks, I may need to clear the tip with a tooth pick.

    that is such a beautiful tank love the look of it so happy that it made it back better than it was before the crash which was so sad

    Perfect timing for me too - I’ve got a branching hammer that needs to be thinned out. I didn’t realize you could snap / cut so easily. I don’t have a bandsaw and worry about crushing skeletons in the pliers. Would like to see a demo with the dremel soon!

      I never use clippers on branching hammers or torches any more due to the damage they often cause. For occasional fragging of branching corals a dremmel is fine, if you frag a lot then an aquasaw is worth it's weight in gold.

    You and Tia are right March when it comes to using a bone cutter on a hammer as it’s skeleton can fracture easy. I like to use a Dremel to cut branching hammers to get cleaner cuts. Nice video March.. 👌

    The banter you guys have is what I enjoy. The agree to disagree attitude is awesome to see. So many people can learn good communication skills from you two 😂. Coral operation is always fun to watch 😎

    Lol I should have been keeping notes while watching 😂 but the one thing that stood out was the debate on leather vs leather. I gotta agree with Tia. If you think about it coral are technically always fighting for space just like in the wild why wouldn’t they do the same in a tank setting? But on a side note great episode 👍🏽 love all the displays. That monti you guys put on the bottom might spiral out towards the light which would be cool to see it grow away from the rock !

    I just got my first wall hammer coral. Do you glue those to the rock work? Or let them just hang out in the sand bed?

  • @michaelalan6459
    @michaelalan6459 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm so nervous about fragging my hammers. I've never done it but they need it. I got one super tiny about the size of a penny and put it in an area for that size. A year later it's the size of a softball and multiple heads. If it keeps growing at this rate it will take over the tank.

    Hi, are torch heads able to be snapped apart with your hands like hammers? Or are they thicker?

    Hi Marge! i have a question you might know the answer to.. I have a golden/orange hammer, when i bought it in january it was super bright and colorfull. At this day it has grown alot, but its really dull and brownish in color. all my other euphillia's are looking bright and healthy. Do you know what golden/orange euph. sp. need to brighten up?:D kind regards, big fan

    You said 'I haven't had a ton of luck with zoa's in this tank'. Why do you think that is? I haven't had much luck with plating monti's (monti caps) or hammers, yet an octospawn and some type of encrusting sps thrives in my current tank, it's so weird.

      It would also be helpful if he listed the websites for products he sees and likes at the shows.
      It would make things easier than having to search the web

    Personally, I think you should hold the camera and the girl should be doing the video. You seem to be showing everything not to do bring frigging hammer curls. Just my two. Cents.
