Right, that's the term I was looking for 'sweeper' not 'feeder'. Good info. I've never seen any of mine break off though. Only thing close to it is a mat of GSP so I guess these two corals are getting along now.

The sweeper tentacles are tools of defense so they are also designed to drop off during an attack or change of flow. Just watch were the little broken hammer lands in your tank because it can be fatal to other corals. The GSP wont die from touching the hammer but it will stop having Polyp Extension in the area were the contact is made.
