Donmarco August 7, 2011 Share August 7, 2011 i'm throwing this out to check my observations.I've had a beautiful, large Hammer Coral in my tank for the past three years. A couple of weeks ago I noticed it splitting in half. It looks like it's reproducing. Is this the normal way?Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integral9 August 7, 2011 Share August 7, 2011 looks normal to me. I had a hammer frag that started w/ 3 heads then grew to 30-40 heads (almost a volley ball) over 3 years before my tank crashed. i've got about 10 heads left i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treesprite August 8, 2011 Share August 8, 2011 Euphyllia corals increase in size by splitting heads and by growing new branches out of the stems. The head splitting is a lot faster than the branch-growing. I'd be interested in seeing what happens if someone cuts a head in half... I know that heads that have been damaged grow fully back, so maybe if the mouth is cut in the middle, both sides will grow back.... who knows?
