Hammer Issues

soulja221 · 09/08/2007, 08:56 PM

So here goes, i just purchased a hammer frag from a lfs and after 24 hours it seems to be doing great.... I looked into the tank earlier and noticed some spots on it and have been reading up ever since. I uploaded some pictures to picasa web and i'd like a second opinion on the condition. I was thinking some sort of worm until i started reading about brown jelly and now im thinking it could be an early sign of brown jelly... any ideas?

I see the spots your talking about. So I just looked at my two hammers (wall and branching), they have the same spots.

I've had the wall hammer for a couple of months and the branching one over a month. Both are really healthy.

Yours looks healthy too.
