Hi guys I’m new here and I have recently brought home a branched hammer coral and I’m having some trouble with placing in the aquarium and potentially the skeleton so I have placed the hammer skeleton into a crevice that is surrounded by a over hang (underestimated how large their tentacles because at the time was retracted) so it’s placed in a crevice medium height but on a slant allmost at first it was very dropey very withdrawn in the last day it’s just exposed the tentacles are thick and filled and seems to be expanding every time I look at it but I’ve noticed a part of the tentacles are brushing and laying in the rock crevice simpley underestimated how big it would expand to it seems really happy what should I do ?

So will it be okay in this crevice it looks thick and happy it doesn’t seem to be bothering it but couldn’t help but wonder how much is being smothered in the crevice
