Hello. I got this hammer 2 weeks ago and it has been curling up a bit like this. Is there something wrong with it?

Is this a recent picture? Was the flow turned off for the picture? Seeing the polyps straight up like that tells me there's not enough flow.
This is from today with the flow on. It looks good for the first few hours of the day but does this after 3 hours usually. Here’s a vid from earlier today.

Sorry, can't see the video. On this website, videos work best if you can post them to youtube and then post the link here.

the flow is fine IMO, and the coral looks fine in the video. It might still be acclimating to your tank, 2 weeks is not a lot of time to corals. #vintagereefer is a pro with lps corals and very helpful, he might have more insight. But I don't think you should be too concerned at this point. Lets see what vintage or others have to say. Good luck
