Euphyllia At Night

[Griff]

Should my euphyllia be this closed up at night?

 

[Griff]

The coral completely inflate during the day but I'm starting to see skeleton at night.

I hope so, my hammer does the same think at nite....let's see what others say

 

[ahiggins]

my lights turn off at 9pm...around 7 my hammer starts to shrink down from about softball size. By the time 10pm rolls around, he is about the size of a goftball and all sucked in to his calcified skeleton. It mayyyybe has about a half inch of fluffy tenticles sticking out of the top of his skeleton. If I remember, Ill grab a pic tonight.
Your pics look completely normal.

Inflating to some degree, during the day time and shrinking to literally nothing at night is pretty normal for me.

 

[RJ Harris]

This is mine at night. Starts to shrink down around 8 before lights out. The maroon likes to call it home too

I have a torch that does the same; starts to deflate about two hours before lights out (10pm) daily.

 

[stevo01]

Yup me too.

I have 18 hammers in my 90 gallon reef. They all start to deflate 6-7 PM. At first I thought something was wrong but I guess that this normal for hammers.

My torch looks like this during the day and completely retreats at night
