See how they grow!

Travis,

There is on of these Branching Hammers at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA, that is as big as a basketball. Would be interesting to know if they are experiencing the same situation as you have described. I don't recal exactly how much polyp extension there was on that specimen.

Both your's and their's are awesome!

very nice

OMG! Now that's growth!! NICE!

Might also be less water flow coming to it as the corals around it got bigger and starting absorbing the movement more?

I have a branching hammer that has grown almost as fast, but it grows sideways if need be. Once it got up into the heavier currents, I started getting more extension than I cared for. It got to a point where it was letting out long tentacles stingning neighboring corals around it.

Careful what you wish for
Cos

Wow, that is excellent...Love the growth.

Travis,
My branching hammer didn't extend well in my main tank at first. I had to keep on moving it to fine the right spot for it.
I thought too much flow would cause hammers to retract?

Have you changed your lights?
My bubble does not expand as much as it used to since I switched to 250 HQI's. I believe it just doesn't need as much light, so it doesnt expand as much.

[ReefLady]

Gumhead, that's a good point. It may have started expanding less when I changed from 2x96 to 3x96.

Thanks!

Great thread guys, I just chopped down my biggest coral that grew from a frag! So I can post a pic of the stumps.

 

[brian_e]

well i was going to post some of mine but i have to resize all of them first and can someone tell me how to post more than one pic at a time

 

[Craig Manoukian]

brian_e,

Resize your photos to 75% and ipload to the proper category in your photo gallery.

Ue the [ img ] syntax and copy the properties after right clicking your photos and close with [ /img ] syntax (no spaces). Space down and repeat to add more pictures to a post or post two pictures in separate posts.

HTH :smirk:
