Today I finally got my hands on a metallic green hammer and I couldn't be happier with it guys its so colorful..! I got it for $15 at my lrs it wad the last frag, it wasn't showing much in the frag tank but I brought it home with lots of hope, gave it a dip, and put it in. Now its opening up and loving the flow.

Gonna need some pics! Sounds like a steal for $15! I just ordered a the 200 gallon box of reef crystals for $53 free s&h. They got a 160 gallon bucket for like $76 at my LFS! Love a good deal always!

Nice hammer coral! Can easily become a centerpiece over time!
 
Yes they can just be wary, if they try when it is small like that they may kill it. Hope they don't until it gets bigger.

Well its on the opposite end of the tank from where they sleep so they shouldn't yet.

Alright guys I've been super busy lately and I've just been down and out for a while and haven't had time to update anything, I have 2 new editions to my tank, I got a small Green Star Polyp frag for $10 and an awesome Torch coral for $15, and let me tell you, they looki better here then they did in the frag tank at my lrs, they were getting blasted with flow over there and here, I recently just redirected everything and now the flow is perfect for my hammer, torch, and gsp, oh and one of my zoa colonies has gone rouge and the other has about 9 new heads! Alright guys that's enough jabbering here some pics! Enjoy :)

Nah dont have anymore. I had to get rid of those. A little on the evasive side for me. I do however have blue sympodium which is kinda similar but dont grow nearly as fast, for me anyways.
