What to feed Hammer
 
Any thoughts on what to feed a hammer most everyone I talked to seems to say they've tried but the hammers just lets the food blow away with in a few minutes. I realize that they get pretty much everything form the nutrients in the water and from the light just want to keep it happy.

No, they certainly don't get everything from the water. I feed mine once a week with mysis and it consumes it within minutes. They can live a long time without feeding (just light), but growth will be slim to none.

my hammer eats mysis too. I found out by accident when some landed on the hammer and it ate it ;P

the frogspawn is my fave to feed tho...

I agree with Brad, they grow a lot faster when fed once or twice a week. I would spray thawed mysis over it when feeding, and it seemed to catch enough.

I have a difficult time getting my frogspawn to take food..

i would have to disagree...
i very rarely directly feed my corals...including LPS... and i have never had a problem with growth...
they just get whatever they can when i feed the tank...
then again, maybe i feed the tank too much. :mrgreen:

I don't feed my corals diectly. My hammer gets some occasional leftovers from fish feeding. It has nearly doubled in size in a year.
