How’s the flow look on these hammers? (They’ve only been in the tank an hour so the double head hasn’t opened up yet). Also some help identifying. I snagged all 3 heads for $15 total off of a bigger colony from a private display. The double head has dark purple tips and green tentacles and the single has pinkish purple tentacles with deep gold/orange tips.
Help with flow and hammer ID please

Not 100% sure but I think that is too heavy of a flow. I have mine to where the extended polyp gently rustles in the water and it's flourishing. Your other frag looks like it has receded into its skeleton which isn't good either.

I've only had them for 2 hours, one opened pretty quick, the one that looks receded is slowly opening, it was completely within it skeleton by the time I got home. It's slowly poking tentacles out.

Makes sense, yeah just slowly acclimate them. I'd assume it would be just like finding the right light setting, just move them slowly until they are happy.
That flow is totally fine, they can tolerate a pretty wide range a flow and will adjust. Especially if you just added them give them some time.
