Did something crazy and hammer coral seems stressed

[Lisa Cain]

My hammer coral sweeper tentacle latched on to the tentacle of a bubble coral tentacle. It was pulling and stretching thread thin. I called myself trying to help and took the forceps and tried to separate the two. Well the little end of the hammer broke off and now it has be waving like crzy with open areas and excreting brown stuff like craze. It has calmed down a little. Will it be ok??? I am posting a picture. It has several mouths open. What do you think is wrong? Upset, stressesed. I hope it will be ok.

My first thought is. Drama Queen.


Should be fine. It’s quite possible it was the bubble coral chem and not the forceps.

Thank you. It is not full and has all of its mouths open I mistakenly broke off the top of the tentacle trying to detach it from the bubble coral. Next time I will let nature take its course and separate them more.

You’re welcome. Oh I’ve been there.

My favorite was finding out the 3 inch sps coral had stinging sweeper 8in Long

Needless to say , it WAS a nice a zoa colony.

I agree with salty, should be fine. I've seen hammers twist their tips off from being unhappy and come back to a nice colony from almost nothing. Nice looking hammer btw.
