    Alright quick question, my one head hammer coral has not been "expanding its tenticles" out. But i was looking at it and it seems like its about ready to grow more heads. Is that was hammers do?

    they will be fine. did you just turn on your lights? cause they take a while to open up. mine take about an hour to fully open.

    is it that hammer you have had for a while? have you checked your calcium? and all your params? check all your levels on your tank? have your new clowns been bothering it? or maybe a worm is bugging it?
