Hello!
I am new to the hobby. I unfortunately had an alkalinity spike and believe I caused my branching hammer to bailout. I currently have my water parameters under control. My hammer had one last piece of flesh remaining. I read in another forum to put it in a shot glass with sand and see if it can regrow. Yesterday I placed it in the middle of the glass and today I woke up to it moved to the edge of the shot glass and has partially buried itself. I don’t see how it could have did this. Is this good, perhaps a sign of it trying to grow? Any advice on how I could keep it growing or just give up would be so appreciated! Please see photos of it yesterday and today. Thank you!

IMHO, it's best left to do it's thing. If you keep changing the environment, I don't think it will have a chance.
 
:( such a bummer. Ours was a very slow death. Painful to watch, haha.
