New Hammer Not Extending? Too much light?

[DyloHeath]

Hello,

I recently got a new hammer coral, along with a new light (Ai Prime 16)

I placed the hammer in the substrate, the first few days were fine, the hammer was at a normal length and didn't look like it was 'shrinking'

All parameters are in check. All of the other corals are open and well.

Only two things I can think of, there is not enough flow in the corner of the tank? I have ordered a wavemaker to fix this. Or the hammer is still adjusting. Or too much light

I want to check that I'm not missing anything.

I've also recently started to does AF Amino Mix and Vitality. All other corals seem fine.

I have a 10 gallon tank Length/Width/Height (50cm x 26cm x 37cm)....... (19.6x10x14.5 inches)

I've attached the settings of my light (Ai Prime 16), it is set to 50% acclimation mode for 30 days.

Give it time. That appears to be a "wall" hammer rather than the branching style. They can be much more difficult then the branching ones. They supposedly like higher light and flow compared to the branching type but I dont have much luck with them and often bring in a disease that kills all other euphillias in the tank. Since most are wild collected.
