Keraxis February 3, 2015 Share February 3, 2015 I have had my hammer for a few months now and even though it is healthy its not really growing new heads. It just keeps getting bigger. It is on my sand bed but about 12 inches from my mp10. Could this be a result of to much flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmerek2 February 3, 2015 Share February 3, 2015 They don't like a lot of flow but if it's getting bigger it's doing great and don't move it. I didn't think mine were growing much until I looked at old pics of the tank. I put my LPS towards the back of the tank where there isn't as much flow and keep my SPS up front where PH are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keraxis February 3, 2015 Author Share February 3, 2015 I was just wondering because It had 9 heads when I got it and it still has 9 heads. It went from alittle bigger then a baseball to a softball but still 9 heads. I am going to have to frag it so it doesn't kill things around it. It already killed a favia.

How fast did you want the heads to grow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keraxis February 3, 2015 Author Share February 3, 2015 How fast did you want the heads to grow? It doesn't matter how fast. I just was worried that it hadn't grown one since Ive owned it (6 months or so). It was more a question to figure out if I should move it or not to make it happy.

Keraxis February 4, 2015 Author Share February 4, 2015 I've had a single head for over a year. Hasn't grown at all interesting... guess my hammer isnt the only weird one. I have a frogspawn that has grown 5x its original size in less time then ive owned the hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crob5965 February 4, 2015 Share February 4, 2015 I have tons of frogspawn, some grow more than others, some don't seem to grow at all. I think like Gmerk said you have to look at old pics to see how much they have grown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmerek2 February 4, 2015 Share February 4, 2015 The heads do get bigger and bigger but eventually do split. Are you sure it's not a wall hammer? I saw a forced split of branching frogspawn with a razor blade on YouTube. I haven't cared enough to try it yet Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a bi color Australian variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanolong March 13, 2015 Share March 13, 2015 I've had my hammer for about a year and it has grown 5 new heads, but they are all very small and grow at an extraordinarly slow rate. My hammer won't grow in anything but a low flow almost like a breeze on the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keraxis March 14, 2015 Author Share March 14, 2015 I moved it about a foot farther away from my powerhead. its color improved and it seems much happier. Thanks for all the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
