Green wall hammer coral questions.

Bubs2 · Sep 4, 2016

I got a green wall hammer coral about 2 months ago. When I first got him I put him in the crevice of a rock and when I switched tanks I placed him on a ledge. Recently I had to move him because he was almost touching another hammer and the space was getting to crowded. I put him into the sand and dug him in about a half a inch.

I was wondering how these guys grow. I saw some pictures online and it looked like a maze of them. Will mine grow to be a maze, and is him being dug into the sand restricting his growth? Over the past 2 months he hasn't grown and I only see his tentacles start to grow more around the rock. Also will his rock start to get bigger and form a maze shape or do I have to put him near a rock?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Some pictures.

Being in the sand won't effect it one way or another. ime wall euphyllia take a looooooong time to grow.

Never had luck with wall hammers. Unlike the branching ones. They are a short term residents. I hated watching them just slowly die.

Dang. Ever since I put him in the sand he's been extending his tentacles even more. I thought they were long when I first moved him in. Well I'm just going to monitor his growth with this thread and if anyone else wants to see how fast they grow they can. Hopefully in a year he will be huge! Haha.
