Combining Hammer Coral

mnollar · 10-27-2006, 11:54 AM

This might be a dumb question, but is it possible to combine heads of different color variations of hammer coral? Will they sting eachother, or is hammer coral immune to its own species sting? I would like to putty together 3 different color heads to make one large colony of all different colors.

That sounds like a cool idea. Euphyllia corals will tolerate eachother fine. I have 2 types of hammer colonies and 2 types of frogspawn all together (some touching) with no issues at all.

Do take pics!

Cool... I have a head of pink and green. Once the heads really start multiplying it would make a cool looking affect.

Really cool idea. Let us know if it works and please post pics. That would be neat to see.

I do this with a frogspawn, a hamer, and a torch coral. They've been squshed together for years now and seem very healthy and growing.
It's like a Euphillia bouquet.

I've heard that the branching ones are more likely to tolerate each other, than mixing branching and non-branching. Mine all happened to be branching.
