I have had 2 hammer coral in my QT tank for two to 3 weeks now. They were dipped and they looked to be adjusting well. Then after a week one looked kinda sad! Had polyp extension but polyps were pinched at the ends and weren’t enflating. So I asked some people I trust and they said more light and flow. Okay so I did. It was looking a little better and enflated has good polyp extension but I noticed the coral is receding up the stony base. Is it trying to grow, trying to bail. Still new to euphyllia.
