sorry I'm Italian and I use the translator I watch your fantastic videos However the current is not direct the flow is normal I don't really understand what one can be dead and the other almost at the beginning the first weeks were beautiful colorful and long then slowly they started to close and .some polyps break apart.
High I’ve never been successful with hammers I’ve got 2 in my aquarium all parameters are stable but the tentacles at the base are shortening! Lighting led about 150par everything else including sps are doing great any ideas
Hey there. How is your flow for the hammers. If the flow is too high for them it can cause retraction. I'm assuming salinity and ph is good since you said parameters are stable. Make sure there are no fish picking at him. I have never had that issue with hammers bit it is possible depending on the species of fish. Make sure the flow is enough to sway the tentacles from side to side but not to strong to where it blasts them all to one side. Alkalinity swings can irritate hammers so just double check parameters including phosphates and nitrates. How long have you had the hammer? If it is new to your aquarium he could be adjusting too.
Usually you can gently kinda pull the hammer away from the surface of the plug. you can use a clean flat head screwdriver or razor blade to break the glue on the plug. if it is really stuck on there you can use a band saw or a pair of bone cutters to cut the hammer off the plug if it is a big enough frag. You can also cut the stem of the plug off and glue the remaining disk to a rock in the aquarium I have done that before. I know a lot of people do not want plugs in their aquarium. because of visual reasons. If this remains an issue for you send me an email and I'll try and help you out. contact info can be found on the website www.cmaquaticsky.com. Happy reefing!

Thank you I really appreciate that, I'm glad you enjoyed it !!
Nice
thanks👍
how do you keep them for me one is closed and the other almost all the values are excellent the good current and also the light ..
Is the flow to high or directly hitting one of the heads. That could make it close up on one side?

I forgot I have a surgeonfish, a supreme clown, a hedgehog, a blue legged hermit crab, two turbo snails, a Stenopus Hispidus and lysmata amboinensis.

How can I remove my hammer from the frag? He’s stuck on there really well and don’t want to hurt it!

How strong of a sting? Bee? Wasp? Yellow jacket?
I have never personaly felt a sting from a coral but do know that they can damage each other from it.
Mine stung me yesterday while placing it, it doesn’t hurt just a tiny itch
Don't know how i have not been stung yet.
