hammer coral question

[fishndive]

Hey folks, I bought a hammer frag last weed and is growing well.

Do these things close/shrink at night? Or get agravated and shrink? Its not in high flow.

Yeah, they retract into their skeleton at night.

Yes they shrink when the get agrevated--normal behaviour. The key is like you stated--keep them out of heavy flow areas.

Yes to all of the above:
They shrink at night.
They shrink when agrevated.
They shrink when something comes near them such as a snail.
They do not like heavy flow.
