Hammer Coral drooping?

[drewdarling]

Okay so I just recently added a purple tip “Hammer” coral (It has hammer shaped tips but each tentacle has little sprouts similar to an Octospawn, maybe it’s normal, I just haven’t seen that before). Anyways, it seems to be opening okay but some of the tentacles seem to be drooping (just pointing down a bit).One of the mouths is also very slightly open, about a millimeter wide at most. Normally I wouldn’t worry but having both happen at the same time concerns me. The picture attached below is under white light so coloration looks dull, but it is not. Flow is provided by an MP10 running at only level 2 (Tank is only 5 Gallons) that is mounted in the center (tank picture was taken before any corals were added and is just to show MP10 placement). Tentacles are always moving but never thrashing so I wouldn’t think flow is an issue. Should I be concerned or am I just nitpicking a happy coral?

Looks normal and happy to me. It maybe starting to split, seems to be getting to that size.

Well I think you’re right! only an hour later there’s is now clear tissue forming that goes from the mouth to the edge of the polyp!
