Yes, the hammers can sting both fish and corals, but it is not a traumatic, paralyzing sting for fish. They may notice it though, and stay away from it. We got our branching hammer coral from TFP (I bet you bought the aussie purple tip I had my eye on too!) last week, and have it right in the sand. Looks great and seems to be really happy there! We currently have MH lights. We do feed it, and we feed per head, pieces of scallop as well as our reef mixture for all the corals. I wouldn't glue that large of a coral down just yet. We always place our stuff, make sure it looks happy where we place it for at least 2 weeks before gluing anything (unless its a frag and too small to safely just sit somewhere) I hate gluing things down. It's a real pain if you end up changing your mind later (which we have rearranged several times to make room for new corals.) We also turn off all filtration when feeding.
