![]() 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.

![]() 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 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. ![]()

![]() 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.
