About the Cover
Hammer corals make striking additions to any reef aquarium. They reach large sizes, have unique-looking tentacles, and thrive under a wide range of conditions. In fact, the biggest danger in keeping these impressive animals is that they will harm your other corals. As our resident reef expert, James Fatherree, explains and our gorgeous cover specimen shows, it is best to keep hammer corals separated from other sessile inverts in your setup (p. 44).
