Shapeshifting hammer

[Fish rookie 07]

Hi guys I’ve had this hammer coral for couple weeks now and it seems to me to be healthy, as it has thick long tentacles through the day, however at around 7-9ish it’s tentacles become very skinny. I’ve given it a dip last week after reading other relative threads and all my parameters are fine. Just wandering whether this is normal as the coral doesn’t close up it just goes skinny in the evening.... is this a problem, if so what could I do?

You should exercise some patience, let it ride, and monitor closely over the next week or two. Often, we unnecessarily intervene thinking there is a problem and end up causing problems. Don't react to your corals, respond to them.
