Hammer coral CARE LEVEL is moderate and
Frogspawn Coral Care lever is EXPERT.
yet... this forum says that both of these are starter coral...

my experience with euphyllia is that the care level for the different types (hammer, frogspawn, torch) are the same

For the coral you need to put it in the right water flow (moderate), The light must be PCs, T5s, or MH and the right placement from them, and good water numbers...
So what test kits do you have and how often do you use them?

You should start testing calcium as well if you're going to start with corals. Buying a refractometer would be a good investment too. Hydrometers aren't super accurate and could be off easily.
