Hammer Coral Closed

[nyknicks4412]

So I got my waller hammer earlier this week. It is my first LPS but I was wondering if this is normal behavior. The tentacles extended and retract throughout the day...sometimes for no reason. Sometimes I will look and they will be nice and extended swaying in the water. Then 5 minutes later I can go back and look and they are fully retracted in the skeleton and you can barely see them. Is this sometime of concern?

What livestock do you have in there?

 

[nyknicks4412]

Just 2 clowns and a ton of snails...maybe a snail is bumping it?

Or could be that the clowns are starting to become curious about hosting and starting to try and move in, which the hammer hasn't gotten use to. Have they been checking it out?

yeah the clowns maybe bothering it...
