looks nice! i also think that looks alot more like frogspawn than a hammer.. i added 2 small green montipora capricornis and the bleached like a week later.. is it cause i don't have MH? they were on top of my tank? everything else is doing fine (not to hijack your thread)

Jim- what lights where they under at the shop? Usually a sudden change in lighting will cause them to bleach. I let mine sit at the bottom of the tank for little over a week before I moved them to where they are now. I have seen them kept under pcs and t-5s, not with crazy growth though.

Thanks. The plan is to grow all these colonies out to a good size over a few years till I can upgrade to a large reef tank when I can handle it. This tank is kind of a waiting cell for my real dreams

It is a branching hammer. Thought it wasnt myself but it fits the scientific bill for one. Most of the polyps have single heads.

Coraline is crazy. Must be something in my water it likes.

it was under MH at a guys house, he gave em to me along with some other stuff, i only have VHO he said they should be ok but i guess not.. should i take em out or is there a chance they will come back?

If its been like that for some time then chances are its dead. Hardly seen or heard of corals making a recovery from a full bleaching
