Okay guys and girls this might be confusing but I got this new tank filled with water about 1 week ago and 2 days ago I added a blenny, 1 clownfish and this large wall hammer coral. I had my gen 5 XR 30 blues set to 75% when I first added the coral. My nitrates are at 0, nitrites 0, and phosphates 0, last my salinity is at 1.026. The first day I added the coral it looked fine and the next day it looked fine as well. Also my rock was cycled prior to the addition to the tank in a brute trash can to reduce nitrates and ammonia. The second day it was open and I looked at the wall hammer when the lights were off and there was little brown strings not a lot coming from the polyps maybe expelling alage from its tissue I guessed that was fine because it was adjusting so I turned my lights down to 45%. The next morning I woke up and it wasn’t looking as good and closed up. Currently my lights are on moonlight mode and this is what it looks like pictures at the bottom please help me. I haven’t seen any sights of polyp bailout which is good maybe the coral is just getting used to the tank? The flow is also not a problem in the tank. My skimmer is not picking up anything from the water maybe it’s because the water is too clean for the hammer?
