So a hammer coral has been purchased! :D

Now... Where I've put it. It is getting water movement. The water movement is passive water moving from the flow of water... But not in direct hit of the power head and filter outlet...

But it's not flowing as much as my torch coral odds but it is moving a bit...

Would this be okay?

This is a link to the photo. The hammer is in the middle of the photo.

Broken link. But if it's opening up fully it is happy and will be fine. They generally don't like being blasted. A gentle sway is fine.

Moderate random flow is best.

With my hammers, when I moved house and rearranged the tank I found one of the heads died off (perhaps as it was in an undesirable location) but the rest of the hammer has gotten used to its position and is growing happily now. I reckon just pick a place of medium flow and leave it there. It'll adapt over time.
Maybe I'm wrong though.

It's sort of getting a brunch of flow every 30 seconds or so?! How's that?
