    What does the hammer coral look like? If it has multiple heads yes if not, I don't think so.

    I would assume the same for the duncans. However, ive never done this.

    Don't be affraid to google.com stuff .



    Link to a nice photo site on fragging duncans.

    The Duncan has around 30 heads and the hammer around 10.

    Your title says frogspawn but the post says hammer?
    I have fragged my frogspawn using a dremmel with the cutoff wheel. It works real good to cut off branches. Some say you need a diamond wheel but I did not have one at the time and used the standard wheel which worked fine. I would think it would also work the same for the duncan. However, they do sell a diamond cutoff wheel for the dremel.

    I've never done any frogspawn or hammer but I've cut many duncans. If th duncansy are long branching ones then cut them with the dremel, as low as possible. If they are the shorter more compact ones cut them down lengthwise into the main stalk. They have veins that go down into the stalks and if you cut them off too high they will not survive as well.

    Use a dremel for either though, as they will both do poorly with clippers

    Well I have both in my tank but my frogspawn is way to small to frag so I changed my question to my hammer but never changed the title lol thats what I get for not proof reading.
