Hammer doesnt extend tentacles

[Minmay]

So yesterday when buying a "peach" hammer the guy told me that this particular kind of hammer doesnt extend its tentacles like other hammers do. It stays bunched up. Is this true? I cant find any research on this kind of hammer. I only find basic information about hammer care.

I have a rainbow hammer, also known as gold possibly peach.

 

It doesn't open up like my other hammer. Its does open up but its tentacles don't come out like the others.

O ok I thought maybe he was lying. To me it doesnt even look peach. At the LFS it looked more gold. thats why I bought it cuz Ive been looking for Gold but I know gold would've been more expensive.

That looks like pictures I've seen for some types of hammers. Live aquaria has hammer pics that look just like that

I think the wall hammers look bunched up. I havent seen a branch hammer be so bunched up before. I dont have a problem with it being bunched. I think it looks cool. Like brains. I was just wondering if this one takes a little longer to acclimate to the tank before he decides to extend his tentacles further out

Its not a wall hammer.

 

Thats how some hammers are, they don't have long tentacles

My LFS had gold hammers and octospawn. The hammer looked more like a bubble coral with how big the tips were. They were extended but not nearly as much as other hammers in the tank. I don't think the LFS is tricking you, lights can drastically change coral color.

 

I did bring home one of the gold octo, so pretty.

O i know mine isn't  a wall. Both my hammers are branches. I wont get a wall hammer since I know those are prone to getting brown jelly.

I love hammers and the different kinds of hammers. I like the bubble looking one

I have the same type of peach/gold hammer. The tenticals on mine have never been long. I have noticed that mine like more of a medium to high flow area and about mid tank this placement has helped with tentical extention.
