Branch Hammer health

[Cycleguy0623]

I have a branching hammer we added to an 8 month old tank 10 Days ago. Most of the heads look fantastic but two of them will not open up. I tried moving it around thinking they were getting too much flow but after 3 days in the new spot I see no improvement. Just looking for advice to save them. I didn’t get a pic till late tonight so it’s a little blue and the good heads have started to shrink for the day but I will try for a better pic tomorrow.

It looks like it's in the shadows there. 125 to 150 par and low flow. Give it time to acclimate rather then moving it around to quick.

Is it mounted on a rock?
If not, get it out of the sand.

I was wondering the same. Couldn't tell if it was a rock or sand mound.

It’s mounted on a rock but the rock is mostly in the sand for stability. I’ll get it up in the rock. That’s a good idea.

Thank you to all!
