Hello all I have two hammers with about 75 heads each i also house a rbta,acros,acan,candcane and other sps and lps
My hammer does not open to its potential at all it is not dying it just won’t open all the way Tank is 90 gal rr up and running for over 5 years My par Sg 1.025-06 Alk 8.2 Cal 440 Mag 1320 Temp 78 Lights reefbreeder at max around 50% for 3 hrs they ramp up from 0 Flow two dc powered power heads and a 2000 gal return pump flow is good Every other coral in my tank looks just fine and all fish are healthy The hammer has been like this for about 2-3 months |

I would have to agree with uncle. Random light to medium flow is the best. Anything more and I have seen them shrink

How long has it been in your tank. If it grew to 75 heads in that spot it’s hard to say flow or light
Also I would check for pest Did it or a few heads see if anything falls off Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
