Hammer After Shipping

[Uncle_Matthew]

Just wanted to check and make sure this is what is about normal after receiving a online shipment including my first hammer his color is great but looks deflated and sucked in if it is normal how long does it typically take for them to recover

 

[a.t.t.r]

Normal. But this is the softcoral section. May wanna post in the large polyp Stoney area.

It’s normal. I’ve had some take a couple days to fully open.

Just for reference I once poorly mixed a batch if salt water and some salt slurry landed on my hammer coral at work. It was deflated and stressed. Thought I killed it. A week later it looked normal and is now back at full strength. They are a pretty hardy coral in my experience so far.

Give it a week or so. Mine looked like that for the first few days but after a week or so it opened up. This should be in LPS, but I get it.

Normal.
He should open more in 24.
Do nothing.
