My other hammers just have tentacles coming directly from the skeleton. This one has some flesh between tentacles and skeleton. I have a filter coming today will get a better picture when I can filter the blue out.

Well then, the picture you posted IS your healthiest specimen. The longer flesh is generally a healthier specimen.

Sounds like a water quality issue.

Here is a FTS. I am kind of new to all of this and trying to learn. I just never saw a hammer look like the one in question and was worried.

I believe the flow to be appropriate. Par is 150ish top of euphyllia and like 100ish in sand

Could use a little more flow, the top hammers don't move at all.
Par, Eh, I like slightly more but you may be okay there.

I can bump up the par and the flow but really I was worried about that one coral. So it looks healthy?
