Hello!
I got this Golden Hammer frag about a week ago, and I just wanted to double check that it was doing okay. This is my first bat at corals, and I spent enough money on a single frag to second guess every time I see a polyp sway with the flow!

I currently have this hammer and a GSP frag in my QT, and am in the middle of doing weekly 50% water change. Just from the look of it, is there anything I should be keeping an eye on? My innexperienced eye thinks it is healthy, but wanted more eyes on it too.

Thank you!!

I've always had bad luck with hammers. However parameters should be in the area of 1.025 salinity, 5 nitrate, 8 alk, <.03 phosphate, 1350 magnesium, 420 calcium. Good lighting and moderate, indirect flow.
 
Looks good to me. I have one that is similar.
Got it as a 2 head frag, it's up to 4 heads now.
