Hi guys ,
So this may sound silly but some people have had a few problems mixing esp wall with branching hammers ,
I’m about to embark on creating a mixed hammer corner , just want to get it right ,
Also checking about adding a frogspawn in the mix ,

Got another hammer , got a blue wall hammer this time ,
I’ve put them all together with a little bit of space between might switch around a bit till I’m happy but the hammer corner is started ,
New one probably take a day or two to settle in but looking good so far ,
Next one probably go for a gold one and will add a frogspawn into the mix at some point ,

That's a really gorgeous wall hammer  :tongue-love: where's it from? 

Afraid I don't know 100% on the compatability between wall and branching ones...but I would say if you ever happen to be awake at like 3am, it's worth having a quick butchers with a torch,  seeing if either of them has their stinging sweeper tentacles out. You'll know it when you see them,  they're really thin and probably 2-3x longer than the normal tentacles.

Best pic i could find quickly -
