Horsey_Cat Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I have a very small pico and I am looking for more coral to add in to. I am looking at basically anything and I was wondering if hammer corals stung other corals and if it would be bad to put in a small pico. Link to comment
tennis20 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 How big is it exactly? In a certain proximity, a hammer will stung the corals around it. Link to comment
Horsey_Cat Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Its a vase, so yeah its small. And even if I did get it, it would probably grow and end up stinging the other corals anyways. How about a walking dendro coral? Is that safe for a pico? Link to comment
PiscesFish Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I think dendros are fine. All I've read on them is that they only have feeding tentacles, same thing with duncans. Though, when I think of dendros, I'm thinking of those clear tentacle tipped sun coral looking corals. If you're refering to the Carnations, then I think those will be fine too, but bioload wise, I'm not too sure how well those will do. Link to comment
jestep Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 In my experience hammers don't usually have long sweeper tentacles, but they're a pretty fast growing coral. My purple branching hammer went from a single head to probably 80 in 3 years. I would probably opt for a wall hammer or wall frogspawn as the growth is much more manageable.This in 2010: Is now almost basketball size: Link to comment
Reefpro Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Hammers, torches , frog spawn all sting pretty good. Give these guys room!!!!! Link to comment
markalot Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Avoid wall frogspawns, very long sweepers that kill. I think any frog, Hammer, or torch is a bad idea. Link to comment
