Orange hammer help

[diamondreef]

The orange colored hammer to the left wont open anymore than the photo shows. Anyone have any advice or tips or a better spot to place it?

hmm did you try lowering the lighting, what was it under previously? maybe too much or not enough.

Well at the show it was open and all of our other types of frogs and hammers are happy.. we tried moving it and lighting... I just dont wanna lose it..

Low light and low flow, allow it to adjust to your tank and then try slow moving it where you want it and watch how it reacts. GL, I know the orange ones seem hard to keep even for those experienced reefers.

Just be sure to watch the base tissue. As long as it's nice, thick, and attached it should be fine. My friend had a new yellow hammer (it was crazy yellow!) and it was upset for a few weeks before opening back up. Try to give it that gentle breeze type of flow that will just carry the tentacles.
