I've had this hammer coral for about two weeks. The left is a day or two after I got it, and the right is today. The polyps just look a lot smaller but not necessarily retracted I guess. Nothing has really changed in terms of dosing or anything.
Parameters: Salinity 1.025, KH 8.3, nitrate 6.0, phosphate 0.09, Ca 412, pH 8, Mg 1250. Maintaining all with soda ash dosing, and occasionally adding some chaeto grow. Switching to All For Reef this weekend.
Edit to add: I'm using 2x Radion XR15 lights, set to 50% and the hammer is about 9" from the surface of the water. PAR around 140-160 around it according to the Seneye.
