Hello,

This is an Aussie Icetip Hammer. Does this look ok to you guys?

My other hammers just have tentacles coming directly from the skeleton. This one has some flesh between tentacles and skeleton. I have a filter coming today will get a better picture when I can filter the blue out.

Well then, the picture you posted IS your healthiest specimen. The longer flesh is generally a healthier specimen.

Sounds like a water quality issue.
 
Here is a FTS. I am kind of new to all of this and trying to learn. I just never saw a hammer look like the one in question and was worried.

I believe the flow to be appropriate. Par is 150ish top of euphyllia and like 100ish in sand

Could use a little more flow, the top hammers don't move at all.
Par, Eh, I like slightly more but you may be okay there.

I can bump up the par and the flow but really I was worried about that one coral. So it looks healthy?
