I had my lights off for a few days to try to tame back some cyano, and my rock nem moved due to it. It moved right next to the Hammer yesterday. I didn't have time to move it, and I didn't feel it was important to do so (lesson learned).

Today, the nem moved away again, and my hammer's tenticles has shriveled up on one side, a section of it. the rest looks fine, fat and happy.

Will my hammer be OK now that the nem is away from it? it will heal right?
 
Cool! also do you see anything to be concerned about on the hammer? or is it just shrunken or possible splitting heads?

also lights off for a period of time may also caused the shrinking. I know mine sometimes retract at night.
 
it shrink, just a few tenticles on one side where the nem was at. the rest seems untouched and happy.. which leads me to believe the nem stung it.

I turned the light back on this morning, that's when I noticed the tenticles shrunk. lights were off for 3 days
 
Check back tomorrow with a picture. they may have touched, but since the anemone left you should be okay and the hammer should open back up.
