Hi, so basically I got a new toxic green hammer coral yesterday and it’s opened up but looks almost like stretched or something. Was just wondering if this was normal or what it could be a sign of thanks!

Looks healthy. Hammers, torches, euphyllia corals in general like mostly low light. Looks like yours is lit pretty bright. You may want to lower you intensity or lower it in your tank. Just a thought.

Perfect thanks, I find that suprising because I just have a basic light that has a blue setting. Nothing fancy and it seems to be doing the job I guess.
