hannahs Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Just ordered some corals online. They were shipped overnight, and I got them this morning, but this is my poor hammer coral. Is there any hope for it? Did it overheat or what? I can't tell. It's been in my tank all day and doesn't look any better or any worse. Link to comment

If I were you I would get in touch with whoever sold you this as IMHO this coral is unfortunately not going to make it the way it looks now. I think you should get a replacement one or a refund Albert Link to comment
hannahs Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 I got it from Salt Critters. I already got store credit for it. Just wondering if there was any hope for it. Link to comment
hannahs Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 I'm really bummed. This was one of the corals I was looking forward to getting the most. Link to comment
Gramophone Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 That's terrible! I ordered a plate coral from saltcritters a few weeks ago. It was barely in enough water to acclimate it. I can't say I am honestly surprised of the fate of your hammer coral. Needless to say, after taking my plate to the LFS, and them doing everything they could for it, it died the next day. Sorry to hear about that, though, it's a real bummer. Link to comment
lagunastudio Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 you know, lps corals always seem to be the most exciting at first but quickly become annoying.. at least in a nano tank.. they sting everything around them, you have to be careful where they are and they limit flow.. i would use the credit for something different Link to comment
