Hammer to close to rock?

My hammer seems to be enjoying his new spot...

Should i try and slide him up a little more to give him a lil more head room?

Leave him be. He looks happy and cozy. It will tell you if and when it is no longer happy.

I would move it up some as it will not be able to fully stretch its polyps out that close to the rocks.

That's what i was thinking.

I would move it up a bit also. If it likes the spot, then leave it be, just epoxy it so it sits up a bit and not "inside" the rock.

Gonna be a while before i epoxy anything, getting ready to add more light and rock over the next week. Plus i wanted to wait till he got a bit bigger before i pulled his plug...

Was mainly looking for confirmation that he was a bit too far in the hole as i was thinking.

You'd be amazed at how unphased the surrounding rock could be to him. I'd bet money he'll balloon out nicely where he is given all the right parameters. Same place, different place... likely will end up moving him as the aquascape changes at any rate and, as we reefers do all the time, likely end up moving a few more times as time goes on. Keep us posted.

Yea probably... Always finding something that needs a lil tweek. Especially since more rock gonna be added either tomorrow evening or Friday. Just upgraded from 30 gal to a 90 gal corner bowfront. Definitely need more rock...
