Exotic Hammers and Torches - Do They Survive?

[-Logzor]

I see these insane looking gold torches, rainbow hammers, etc pop up all the time. Are people able to keep these alive in their systems? I don't think I've ever see any type of show-off thread for these color variations.

Gold torches are very hardy indeed and the wall hammers are a bit less hardy but non the less do very well in captivity given the proper care

Yeah man, the aussie gold torches are awesome and super hardy. Love mine; adds good movement to an sps tank IMO.

That gold hammer is gorgeous nycpassat!

I've had my wall hammer for about 2 1/2 years. I've seen them grow fairly fast but this one has been quite a slow grower and has had tissue problems in the past.

Lately he's been looking good with good tissue growth.
