New hammer, is this normal?

[88rxna]

I got this hammer this past wednesday, acclimated and dipped it. Friday it was happy as could be.

Even that night (my moon lights kick on at 8PM) it was open. Tonight when i came home the moon lights were already on and i found this.

I turned the light on real quick to snap a pic. But im not sure if its dying or not?
Parameters are normal with temp at 79 and salinity at 1.025

normal for coral to deflate at night. If full lighting during the day and it's deflate then there's a problem.

+1. At night they will shrink up. Under normal lighting mine takes about an hour or so to fully fluff back up.

+2, look again under your normal daytime lighting.

Normal. No stress. I could show you pics of euphyllia that 'shrink' and contract even more; afterwards when they puff out again....almost unrecognizable. :bigeyes:
