Low flow. Bottom of the tank.

Keep the fleshy parts from directly contacting the sand bed If you have a tendency for cyanobacteria.
I lost all of my bottom branches (on frogspawn) because of that. Turned into brown jelly disease, and that can take out an entire colony...I got lucky that it didn't.

Re: hammer coral
Fin, everywhere I have seen these - pics on web, LFS, friends tanks etc. - the hammer is on the sand bed and the flesh parts, including tentacles, do touch the sand bed. Are you saying off the bed, only if cyano is a problem? Otherwise, in the sand isn't an issue?
I had mine in the sand, touching the bed through my bout w/ cyano and want to make sure. I didn't see any issues with it, so I assume I am lucky too. Thanks for the heads up.Stupid people do stupid things...smart people outsmart each other.

Correct. I'm saying only an issue if you have, or are prone to Cyano.

When I was researching brown jelly disease, this was listed as a potential cause.
