Joeteng Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I feed once a week and you need to have sufficient lighting which is more important for their photosynthesis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgslic Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 May sound silly...but what do hammers eat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymbvolka Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 food in the form of micro-plankton or brine shrimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member solasido Posted December 27, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted December 27, 2012 I never feed my hammer directly. But I feed zooplankton twice a week in the tank. I guess, it will be able to filter the food from the water. In the past few months, I have clown fish hosting on it. I believe the fish poo will be the hammer's food now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueclown Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I hardly feed my corals, instead I change water frequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
