Thanks Mark

Sure here are a couple of mines

Branching Hammer

 

["Umm fish?"]

Here's one. It might be a frog/anchor hybrid.

Here is mine I think it's doing good. Does everyone feed their Anchor or not if so what do you feed ?

Cool pics!

I feed my hammer cyclop eeze and a little bit of "Rod's Food"

As far as feeding goes, I feed my tank a lot of small stuff so the euphyllias just go with whatever they catch. They will not take anything larger that I've tried to feed (no chunky mysis pieces, for example), but they are growing so I'm not terribly concerned.

My branching hammer will take mysis. My wall hammer doesn't seem to go for them though, nor does my frogspawn.

Your wall hammer looks very similar to mine. My wife bought it for me and told me the LFS saiad it was an anchor. You seem to be a bit better at picture taking than I am but the look great thanks for any help

It will. Mine started half decayed, and looked like this:

SPStoner those are some imperative specimens

SDguy do you have any idea what has made yours recede like that. I hope I can keep mine well, here's the story on mine. My wife had a heart attack a few months ago and she has not really been well enough to get out of the house, the day after Christmas she talked my daughter in to taking her out and this is what she came back with as my X-Mas gift. its in a small 14 gallon tank I hope I can keep it stable, I was almost ready to set up my 90 when all of this happened. any way thanks for the pic's and advice everyone.

Or, it seems, resize, for that matter

roader247 - It did not recede in my tank. It was half dead at the dealer. He gave it to me for free because of that. It has done nothing but grow in my tank.
