Flow question for Hammer

[neiltus]

Bought a wall hammer (against better judgement) because it looked very healthy and was doing well in the LFS for the 11 days I watched it.

Brought it home yesterday and put it in Coral RX(5min) followed by Bayer(15min).

Anyway, struggling with it's location in the tank and think I found a decent place. Curious if y'all think this is too much flow? Also, have it under a pair of Kessils 360we ramping up to about 52% intensity.

Nice piece. I don't think it's too bad. Seems like random enough flow. Other people, unfortunately, will say either more or less.

if the middle ridge doesnt open soon you need to move it back from the rock you can clearly see it's holding the polyps in wall hammer will go south very quickly if this isnt corrected

moved it to a more open space in the center of the tank and think it is getting beat up less.

This. You want them to kind of sway in the breeze with water movement.

Also if it touches any rocks when it opens up it's going to die in no time, it shreds their flesh. Personally I wouldn't leave it where it is.
