Hi I have two hammer corals, one was bought as a 5 head frag the other a single frag. They both ooe nicely but how do I know they are growing, where would I see new growth? Thanks for your advice.

Over time you will see new heads forming along its base. I would advice maintaining your water chemistry at the recommended ranges and proper lighting.

If I could mention I see some of green hair algae.
Check your phosphate level and ensure its in the 0.03-0.07 range.
High phosphate will slow your coral growth.
Of course, keep CA,MG and ALK on point to allow for maximum skeleton growth.

Sorry, not really an answer to your question, but I thought relevant to what you are looking for.

Thanks, phosphate levels are at 0.03 hair algae was left on rocks from old setup, I will be pulling it off during water changes and get some snails in to finish the job.

0.03 is perfect.
