Problem with new hammer coral

[Eliemination]

Hey guys,

Yesterday, I bought a new hammer coral. According to my research, these guys like low-medium flow, and moderate light. I put the new hammer coral in the corner of the tank and the next day, one of the heads of the hammer has shriveled tentacles. Should I add more flow? more light? or just leave it?


Thanks

Note: I took the pictures when I killed the flow in the tank

My initial guess is a bit to much lighting, but before assuming that what are your tank parameters?

 

[Eliemination]

60 gallon tank
0 ammonia
0 nitrite
less than 5ppm of nitrate

Not so sure on the calcium and KH level

All of my corals are looking fine. Could it be that the hammer is still adjusting to the tank because this morning it looked fine.

I have found that most of my euphyllia like medium/high light and just enough flow to keep the tentacles from flopping over.

Also knowing your calcium and alkalinity will help
