I placed my hammer and frogspawn close together, as I've read many places that say they do great next to each other. My hammer seems to be dominating my frogspawn though. Should I move my frogspawn?

Everything looks good to me. All euphyillia can touch each other except torches, they can only touch other torches.

That's what I thought. Doesn't the frogspawn look shriveled to you though? It's not nearly as big as it was in the fish store. They both get the same light and flow.

How long have you had them? The Frogspawn can take longer to adjust than the hammer on occasion.

They look okay to me. If your worried about the "puffiness" of your Frogspawn then we move to what are your parameters,light,flow, and feeding Schedule?

I have an ocean revive arctic t247, the blue light is set at 24 for 8 hours a day, the white at 15 for 7 hours per day. My parameters are 0 nitrite and ammonia around 10 nitrates and my PH looks to be between 8 and 8.2 based on the color and darkness of the test. The temperature ranges between 77.5 and 79. My tank is a 34 gallon RedSea Max 130, and if I'm calculating my flow right, I should be around 1200-1300 GPH. Salinity stays at a specific gravity of 1.026. As far as my light goes, I'm not sure how much I should turn it up. I just adjusted it to make it look right, and everything seems to grow under it.

Not sure about magnesium or alkalinity, but my calcium by doing the test is between 460-480, I'll call it 470. I need to get tests for the others

Well everything seems to be incheck as far as parameters. Like @wkscott said "go with your instincts" and move if you want. Otherwise everything looks A-OK to me.
