how to choose hammer?

[spaceman]

Hi guys!

I just bought my 1st hammer corals yesterday night. 2 pieces. Both was opened quite beautiful at the LFS.

when I reach home, I found both pieces were "vomiting" those sticky yucky stuff.. are they stressed up? anyway to prevent such things or some tips to transport this type of corals?

anyway, this morning, I had to throw one away. gone up lorry liao.. quite disappointed. the other one is still struggling to open...

Any tips to improve the survival rate of these guys during transportation??

Thanks!!

hammer is quite hardy. hows u'r water parameter??

sometimes it take time for it to open up. maybe can share

how u introduce it to your tank.

tips for transport coral...never leave it in side your car with

air con off, bonnet or m/bike box....water must maintain at least 29 C

any pic??

yap agreed best buy liao quick quick go home ... to reduce stress period in the transport bag ...

okie, I think i took 45mins to reach home. must be too stress up by then!

Water parameter is fine.

I placed both at low current and strong light area, but still one of them went up lorry... will take a photo later!

looks fine to me...except the left side...

looks like some tissue at the side gone..

it will recover..

when buying hammer,

look out for it clear tissue at side,

healthy one u can see its tissue clearly....
