1 of 6 hammer heads closed

[SueAubu]

For awhile now, I've had the gorgeous pink and yellow hammer that lives where it is and just keeps getting bigger. It sits on its own rock, dead center of the tank. The heads are huge and two have split! Except this one head that refuses to open. It's underneath the larger ones, even when opened.
I have turned it toward the flow, away from the flow. I've tried to blow out anything that may be nesting by putting it close to the fan for a few seconds. (I've seen the odd copepod running around it)
I'm lost. Any idea why it's doing this? Thanks!

It's probably not getting enough light.

Agree, lack of light.
Probably a half dozen like that on this one.

Time to frag!

My clowns would be extremely upset

If you cut off one head that's not getting light?

 

[1112-425XL]

No, if I take it out to do that!

 

[1112-425XL]

But, you're right. It's time.

I thought the same... I just don't have the heart to snap or cut.... I'm a wuss.

I've turned it and angled it toward the light. I was trying to keep this a nano, but all my colonies are happily growing too fast. I don't know what it's like to have happy corals! I'm resigning myself to size-up...
