Where did these "baby Hammers" come from?

[Koty]

I have at least 4 of those tiny hammers around this hammer which is the only single polyp that survived. He is over 6 months in my DT.

From your parent hammer - they will grow to own hammers.

Hope you are right. Currently, i have a reputation of a Euphylia killer. Now I hope my tank is old and stable enough to sustain them long-term. I was wondering is it a result of sexual or asexual breeding

I would suggest asexual breeding (cloning) - they are known for polyp bail outs

Hammers are not Euphyllia

Hammers are not Euphyllia

Not trying to be smart but did their scientific name change? Last I knew it was Euphyllia Ancora and Euphyllia Parancora

It is a euphyllia most definitely. As stated above there are two different types

Yes. Their Fimbriaphyllia now. Changed awhile ago.Torches are still Euphylla.

 

[James5214]

How long has that been

 

[James5214]

Wow just saw in 2017 a study was done that moved almost all euphyllia to fambriaphyllia.

Interesting. Guess I never knew that. Thanks!

That's really cool. Got rid of my torches over a year ago. About 8 months ago 2 of these guys popped up. Almost killed them thinking they were mojano. Gotta love bonus coral.
