    Alright well i was looking at my hammer coral just now and it looks Great! Every head is out and the flow is good. On some of the tenticles if thats the correct turm i see little white spots? About 4 Tenticals have them, And its only one white spot. Not alot but just one. IS that some new heads growing? or a disease?

    Hi Validity

    without a picture its really difficult to say

    but could the white spot be coralline thats bleached on the calcium stem of the hammer?

    Do they move?
    Could be anything... size of the spots?
    could be copepods.. nudis.. what steve said..
    my frog had little heads pop out of the side of the skeleton too that looked like this.
