frogspawn/hammer growth

[runningstix]

I just recently picked up a branching hammer which I think looks more like frogspawn. Anyhow, how does LPS grow new heads. Does anyone have a good picture showing the new growth? Mine currently has 2 heads and I would like to know what to look for when it goes to 3.

hammers will either split, in which case you will see a "bubble" in the middle of one of the heads. at that time, (if you dont remember this), you'll put a post on here saying "help, a blister has formed on the head of the coral"

or, it will grow a completely new branch, which is pretty cool to watch get bigger. both are cool to watch actually. but anyway, either way of propagating takes a couple of months

i have my hammer and frogspawn under 2x54 T5 and 150w 10k halide, spot feed once a week, and they grow a new head every 3 months or so.
The parent colony that I got my frogspawn from was off to the side under 400w halides x2 and VHOs. That one grows a new head every month.
Every euphyllia will do different in the tank that its in, just make sure its healthy and happy and it will eventually grow.
