caring for hammer coral...

[mAriNe_enthusiast]

Hi guys,

I just got myself a hammer coral...but shuai shuai it kena brown jelly disease.

i have to siphon one part of the coral away... left 3 other branches. Now they are doing fine in my 2 PL with 1 actnic lighting. I will like to know how to keep them healthy and are they any minerals i have to add?

Thanks...

if the branch is dying,

i'd break it off...carefully so as not to injure the main stems.

as for the keeping healthy....

keep your water parems good,

regular water changes should provode it with

the minerals and trace elements it needs.

i'm not sure if your lighting is sufficient though...

i have a specimen that i kept under PLs,

i placed it high up too but it bloomed less and less,

then head by head it receded.

recently i upgraded to 250W MH,

since then it has improved

and 1 of the heads has divided....

betta to feed ocasionally, maybe once a week, with small bits of food...
