Hello!

I bought two hammer corals 6 days ago. The rose one is placed halfway down my tank and has good extension. The mint guy is placed a bit higher and has been pretty retracted. I'm new to LPS, so I'm not sure how to gage "happiness". Can any of you let me know if you see anything

They both look healthy with flesh extending down the skeleton about an inch or more. I have 2, one the heads form ball shapes and the other are more flat. They are right next to each other. You want moderate flow and light. Also one could just be acclimating faster than the other.
