Hammer coral extended tenticles?

[zpete3323]

Hello all,

I have a pink hammer that is acting peculiar and wanted to see if anyone else had a hammer do the same.

The rest of the hammers in the tank are acting normal however this single head is acting wonky with extended tentacles.

Any clues? Thanks!

I have seen mine do that from time to time.

Those are sweepers and are used to sting other coral that encroach on the hammer's territory.

Most fimbriaphyllia and euphyllia share this trait.

Who do you think is ticking him off?
Definitely possible thank you!

Being the left front most head could it be the favia or maybe the Duncan behind?

Nothing needs to tick them off, it's natural behavior, especially at night
