I just picked up some hammers at my LFS a few days ago. 1 pink, 1 green, and 1 gold. They are under low/moderate indirect flow (they move, but not a ton), and I would say somewhat low lighting, but not shaded. They seem happy to me, but these are my 1st hammers, so I'm not really sure? My only concern is they look a little droopy to me, but I'm not sure if this is any cause for concern, normal, or good? Please see pic, and voice your opinions. Thanks in advance for all the responses!

Looking good. Keep them low in the tank, as I had mine a bit too high and it was unhappy, but as soon as I moved it down to the sand bed, it was happy.
 
I see the green and gold one. They look good. Where is the pink one?

If you had more flow they will tighten up as the random movement helps that.

Looking Good. Good job.
 
They look terrific! I would agree that a little more flow would make them less “droopy”. Keep up the good work!

Ok. I will turn up the powerhead 10%. They are safely away from all other coral. Thanks guys.
