Hammer Coral not opening fully

[chrissohk]

My hammer would open fully. However, in the past 4 days it hasnt really been opening fully, only opening partially. Im not sure what I should do and if there is an issue.

Salinity: 1.025
Alk: 11 dkh
Temp: 81

Your alk is a little high unless that’s your “normal” and the hammer has been in there and used to it. About a month or two would be the mark I shoot for when troubleshooting.
Does your temp usually get that high?
Another thing that really affects my hammers/frogspawn is the amount of white/red/green in the light spectrum. I’ve noticed that when my red and green turn off for the day, they shrink up a little. When my white intensity goes down they also shrink up a little.
Pics will help

I recently added fans so the temperature has changed slightly.

hi! how is flow? smaller torches don't like to be blasted around. how long has it been in your tank? as long as you don't see tissue loss, it could take a few weeks or longer to acclimate.
