I noticed that wall hammer tentacles shape has been changed. May be splitting. I need to know if prevention is required To avoid any issues. I do have another huge colony that doesn’t change anything.

Hi guna24,

No need to be concerned! What you have is a perfectly healthy looking "frammer" as some people like to call them. It's a spoof on combining the coral names hammer and frog spawn and does a pretty accurate job of describing hammers that branch in that way.

Thanks for your reply. This called “Frammer” jeez.. it does started to change a week before, unti then it was looking like anchor shape. By the way, these are wild harvested corals.

And now the price went from $30 a head(normal wall hammer), to over $100 a head because of the fancy name(frammer). Welcome to the name game!

Back in the day, it was just a morphology from too much light. Hammers can change their tentacle shape due to too much or not enough light, or how much flow they receive.

I have this piece of wall hammer for about 3 months now, and I haven’t changed any light settings and flow so far and not even moved an inch. Placed it under 20 inch deep. The additional branches on the tentacles started to grow a week before, and I’m seeing more and more on a daily basis. I want to make sure that it doesn’t hurt.

3 months to a coral, is like 1 day to us.
Is it probably for lighting issues or flow issues? Let’s wait and see the result. I have gone through few websites and videos as it states the the wall hammer is growing in such a way.
