Hammer spawning

Looks the hammer is getting ready for spawning!

Not sure how this would work out in a reef tank, I assume the eggs would just get collected by the filtration system.

Hammer Corals Caught Accumulating Eggs in Tentacles in Preparation of Spawning Event

Although we’re pretty caught up in the Interzoo hype, we haven’t forgotten about all of the amazing corals that attract us to this hobby in the first place. To prove my point, we’ll now shift our focus to a really interesting find from our friends at , an East Coast marine aquarium livestock...

Ask @Meshmez how he collected them from his torch

I collected them by accident... I dipped it thinking they were flatworms, and then ended up finding out they were eggs or whatever they are.

I think once they accumulate, they come out soon after. You could try putting it in a separate tank with very very low flow until it spawns. Then move the colony back to the DT and keep the others at low/no flow.

The other thing is some will implant on rocks, so likely a few will pop up in the tank.

Thanks @Meshmez!
Putting it in a separate tank might be tough as I don't have an extra setup, however I can put it in a mixing bucket with a spare light I have to see what comes off this.
